Pattern Description:
Pullover dress, sleeveless, slight A-line shaping, neck line and arm holes bound with self fabric bias binding
Pattern Sizing:
12 -16, I used size 16 style C but with bias binding for neckline and armholes rather than the facing
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
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Simple and quick to sew
Fabric Used:
Cotton
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I lengthened style C by 2 inches so the dress reached to just below my knees. I bound the neckline with 3/4 inch self fabric bias binding and the armholes with 1/2 inch self fabric bias binding. I used a bias tape maker to press the seam allowances for the binding.
front
neckline
armhole binding
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
This is my second time making the dress. The previous one I made with sleeves.
Conclusion:
A quick and easy casual summer dress to make in an hour or so. |

You're inspiring me to sew up this pattern. I already have the pattern. Your dress is lovely. Thanks for the tips on the bias binding; I really don't like facings.

Great dress! And kudos to you, having sewn it in an hour! I've seen one of those binding maker thingies (I really do know what you're talking about :), I think I'll have to pick myself up one.
