Pattern Description: DKNY very loose fitting dress with cowl neck and pleated front.

Pattern Sizing: 6 - 22 I graded this from size 16 for the shoulders out to size 22 at the hip.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Somewhat

Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy and straightforward.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love pleated fronts and was inspired by prosestitch's use of this pattern

Fabric Used: Lightweight open weave textured polyester.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I shortened it to tunic length.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? this makes me look rather pregnant so I won't make it again. I've other pleated front patterns that suit me better.

However this is really easy to put together and the knit version is flattering on a range of women so if you don't have a prominent tummy give it a go.

Conclusion: Although this isn't the best look on me I wear it regularly - I feel smart wearing it
