Pattern Description: Fitted dress with shoulder and skirt flounces.

Pattern Sizing:

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? Yes, but I changed some things.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the neckline and the various options for sleeves and skirt.

Fabric Used: Polyester charmeuse. It was lighter weight than I expected. I ordered the fabric online and loved the color but it was the weight of a silk scarf so difficult to work with.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I put in the zipper before completing the side and shoulder seams. This makes the facing finish better.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? This is the second version I have made of the dress.

Conclusion: I love the style with the sleeveless bodice and the shoulder flounces and flippy skirt.
