Pattern Description: Toddler dress and jacket

Pattern Sizing: 2-5

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? have been used countless of times for my girls dresses. although when making sleeveless dresses, I raise the armhole a bit as it tends to end up a bit low.. Also it tends to be a bit loose so I remove 1.5" from the waistline. taking in mind I always sew a size up for the girls.

Fabric Used: velvet mixed with woven fabric

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: made the armhole smaller for better fit and the took about 1.5" from waistline. Made box pleats on skirt instead of gathering it.
Note ease in this pattern is 4" ( a lot) you might want to reduce that at center back.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes.

Conclusion: very nice pattern where top bodice can be used as a basic block. recommended
