Pattern Description: Girls's dress

Pattern Sizing: size 5 top skirt size 6

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? yes it did look like in the pattern after I finish it.

Were the instructions easy to follow? the instructions were easy yet I think that the instructions on how to attach the linning were not complete.not helpful for beginners

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like that it is easy not to quick to make. I didn't like that there was no instructions on how to add the linning to the skirt and how to sew the linning with the zipper.

Fabric Used: blue green brocade

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: My daughter is tall and slim. I made a top 5 and a 6 bottom.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes I would sew it again and I would recommend to have some experinece with linning and zippers.

Conclusion: beautiful dress my daughter loved it even more.
