Pattern Description:
Semi-fitted dress and shirt

Pattern Sizing:
10 - 22

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

Were the instructions easy to follow?
yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?I liked the fit and style on the pattern illustration. Unfortunately, I didn't get the same results. I was way too generous in my sizing and ended up cutting at least 1 1/2 inches from the sides and underarm and lengthening the darts.

Fabric Used:
poly woven I think

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None
Would you sew it again? yes, just to see if I can get a better fit. Would you recommend it to others? yes. I think my issues were due to human error!

Conclusion:
Although, I didn't get the fit (this time) I was going for, I still thinks it's a decent pattern. Next time I'll try it in a fabric with a little stretch.
