Pattern Description:
Misses knit dresses in various lengths with many bodice options
Pattern Sizing:
Regular. I made a size 12 and it came out a little big.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes! I am very pleased with it.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes! I would just add that when doing the neckline don't be afraid to take your time. It makes a big difference. Do it right.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love the neckline variations! When I made this pattern before I didn't add any trim, but I'm so glad I did this time. It is the little thing you can add to this that make it so awesome.
Fabric Used:
black and off-white ity jersey with what looks like a coral (the sea creature) pattern
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I flared the skirt a bit and shortened it a tad. I wanted a tunic, not a dress.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes! Knit tops/tunics are so comfortable. I would recommend it and plan on making more myself come summer!
