Pattern Description: A summer sundress. Fitted on top with a flared skirt, and your choice of a flattering knee-length or dramatic, full-length dress.
Pattern Sizing: 0-16
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? Absolutely. I found them very clear. The dress is quite simple to construct.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I really liked this pattern. Nothing to dislike at all.
Fabric Used: Cotton Voile
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
While I cut a size 0 and made the shorter length, I cut the skirt to a size 16 as I think it suits the shape of the dress better to have a little more length.
I also added some cotton lace to the hem. I top stitched the edge of the pockets, rather than understitching them.
I found the dress was a little big in the back and I corrected this by running a couple of darts in the back alongside the strap loops.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes I will be sewing this again. It's the perfect summer dress. Put this on your to-sew list!!
