Pattern Description:
Wrap dress for woven fabrics with variety of sleeve lengths, 2 bodice and collar choices and contrast neck choice. 3 belt options too.
Pattern Sizing:
multi-sized pattern
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes - just look carefully at the illustrations and you will be ok around the tricky neck facing.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I liked all the options and varieties to the collar, belt, bodice and sleeves.
Fabric Used:
I used a cotton myself: Amy Butler Gypsy Caravan collection.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
It is a bit low in the front so I added an extra hook and eye closure.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes I will be sewing this again - I'd like to try the capelet sleeves in a lawn fabric.
Conclusion:
Definitly have a try at this pattern!!! I feel lovely and confident wearing it and I've had a few compliments on it too.

You look lovely and confident! Very pretty. Does that mean there is no flyaway problem with the wrap skirt?

What a nice, summery dress! I love the color and the floral print.

Thanks for your lovely comments! When the top wrap flew up from a bit of wind, the underneath wrap is covering both thighs, with the edge probably just to the outer front of my thigh, so my modesty was kept. Hope that helps! I'll add a photo of the front flap opened so that you can see how far the underneath panel covers, onto my blog. http://nessahux.blogspot.co.uk/

Very pretty! It has a delicate feeling to it, that goes very nicely with that clear pale complexion of yours.
