Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?It did. I look just like that angular line drawing!
Were the instructions easy to follow? Very much so. This was a cakewalk.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I know it's not the most flattering on me, so I raised the waist just a tiny smidge. I wish the gathering across the front of the sleeves was more pronounced.
Fabric Used: a cheetah ultrasuede. I mean come on, wasn't that the obvious choice?
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Oh, that waist raising business I mentioned above. I also had to take in the back neckline- I'm a little slopey like a cartoon vulture
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? well, it's an OOP, but still available- if you need a not-so-fitted dress pattern, here you go.
Conclusion: I think I'll get alot of wear out of this, if I can concquer the static cling beast! Oh, and it's cheetah, so.........
