I thought the end result of the pattern was beautiful, but I have sewn quite a bit before this and I did not think this was an easy pattern to sew. I would not recommend it for a beginning seamstress, for sure. There were some parts of the pattern wording that had me completely baffled as it left out the step of gathering a certain part of the many layered skirt. I bought a serger to make a more professional edge on the chiffon fabric used on the skirt overlays instead of the folded hem that the pattern asks for. I also didn't like the look of the sash with the large cluster of flowers on the front, so instead I made a satin belt that buttoned in the back and put a pretty brooch on the front.

Thank you for the compliments on the dress! I have to say that the hardest part of this dress was the chiffon fabric hem finishing. I had never used a serger before and chiffon is not a "friendly" fabric. I had to practice for several days using scraps of the fabric to get up the nerve to send the curved edges of the overlay through the serger since the serger cuts and finishes at the same time, you don't really get a second chance if it doesn't come out right the first time (which it didn't and there were parts I had to figure out how to do over). I bought a Brother Serger from WalMart online and I have to say I was very happy with it. Any problems I had were due to my lack of experience.
