Pattern Description:

Pattern Sizing:
12-20
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
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I liked how easy the directions were to follow. The dress turned out very nicely. For my body type, I didn't like how it was all in one piece, but when worn with a hoop skirt it worked out great.
Fabric Used:
I just used black costume-grade satin.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I didn't make any changes to the pattern, all I did was add on to make it look the way it needed to look for my costume. Once I sewed the dress, I added on rhinestones around the bodice. I also sewed on gathered tulle around the bodice as well. I added the tentacles on the bottom hem of the dress.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, this dress pattern can be used in many ways. Great pattern!

Conclusion:
Buy this pattern for $16.95     Add to Bag Add to Bag

The dress is fantastic and definitely over the top! You look great, but you didn't say what character you were. Your friend's Cleopatra (?) is also lovely.
