Pattern Description:
Knit dress with short sleeves and three tiered twirly skirt.

Pattern Sizing:
86-122. I graded this up and made a 128.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Pretty much, except for the changes I made.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
They looked fine. I didn't use them though and constructed the dress my own way, adding a neck binding and doing the gathers and construction order differently.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
It is a fun style! I was looking for a knit dress with short sleeves to use up some left over bits of fabric.

Fabric Used:
The red is a cotton lycra jersey knit and the yellow is a cotton jersey with printed red and white mushrooms that I bought online form Crafty Mamas Fabrics.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I had to change the height and width of the tiers to fit my fabric pieces. I added a contrast neck binding.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I'd definitely recommend it. My daughter is getting a bit to big for this pattern so I won't make it again myself.

Conclusion:
Very cute, she loves it!
