Pattern Description: Misses' day to evening dresses in two lengths with bodice and sleeve variations

Pattern Sizing: 14-22


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? The directions were very easy. I only glanced at them once.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved this this pattern really resembled the inspiration dress.


Fabric Used: I used a pleated/crinkle coated knit. That's the only way I can describe it.


Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't add a zipper since there was so much stretch in my fabric.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I doubt if I make it again but I do recommend it if you like this style.

Conclusion: This was a very straight forward pattern. Well drafted, no issues. I love that it gave me lines similar to the inspiration dress.
