Pattern Description: Misses dress with sleeve and waist variants

Pattern Sizing: Misses

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Sure, sure thing, yup.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Very much so.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love this sleeve style- it's tapered but not strangly.

Fabric Used:a lacy, cheetah, poly something from Hancock fabrics

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I skipped all the embellishments on the waistband- this fabric is pretty busy without it! I also lined the skirt- it needed a little more weight with my staticy poly fabric choice.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? It is very easy and comfortable and cute- go ahead. Make one.

Conclusion: This is my dressier Jungle January make- just in time for the 'Annie Awards'.....
