Pattern Description: A basic knit dress with a woven decretive element at the neckline. It is part of the collection from the online pattern store Blank Slate Patterns

Pattern Sizing: 18 months - 8

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? Very. The neckline is the most complicated part of this still simple pattern but the instructions and pictures really make the assemby easy and obvious.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I really liked the keystone like decretive element on the neckline. It allowed me to use some cute scraps left over from a previous project and really dressed up this pattern that is essentially a t-shirt dress.

Fabric Used: The body of the fabric is a knit but it has woven elements.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: none

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

Conclusion: This a fun version of a t-shirt dress that is great for a quick project or for a new sewist that is looking for something different to try. I blogged about this pattern review and project at Without Directions
