Were the instructions easy to follow?
There are three pattern pieces in this dress. Three!!! So yes it was incredible easy to follow. Four if you include my additional sleeves

Sizing:
I cut a size 12.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I loved how lightweight and fun this dress looked. It was exactly the kind of beachy, summer holidays type dress I had in mind. However, I hate dresses on me that finish at that part of the shoulder. I feel like I look like a heman so I added some small sleeves.

Fabric:
Lightweight knit material.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Just adding the sleeves. There is really not a lot to comment about this one it was too easy and quick to make. No problems. Although I probably could have cut a smaller size now thinking about it because it was a knit which gets a little bigger anyway. It is a little baggy on me me but still nice to wear this summer.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes I would definitely sew it again because did I mention it was sooo easy to make hehe!!

Conclusion
Need a beachy dress? This one is perfect!!

Your dress is great! Excellent idea for beach cover up or easy summer slip on dress.

Love the shape of this dress. Would be great to hide the inevitable Christmas bulge that we all seam to develop at this time of the year. Must look into getting this pattern. Thanks for your review.

This is very pretty & looks great. I too like sleeves & they go so well with this pattern. I wonder if you used another pattern for them.

Thank you!! Yes it is a good dress for hiding those extra Xmas kilos! Eva, I just used my collette macaron sleeves but without the dip. I seem to be using this cut for all my dresses because they are gathered at the top so will pretty much fit everything! I have only just made the macaron so you might be able to see the style there too.
