Pattern Description:
Beginners level dress
Pattern Sizing:
multi size 0-18
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, except better
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I don't think the skirt is full enough to gather, so I changed it to box pleats
Fabric Used:
Cotton
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Changing skirt to box pleats, lapped zipper instead of invisible
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes
Conclusion:
A great wardrobe basic sundress with flattering shaping. The sizing is a little generous so I would recommend doing a mock-up first. The back in particular seems large.
