Pattern Description: surplice knit dress with an empire waist

Pattern Sizing:xxs through xl I made a large. I also made a large in the tee. My measurements would have suggested a medium but that would not have worked. I like the fit of this one very well though.

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 its part of the sewing with knits craftsy class

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?I like the style and its very comfy.

Fabric Used:grey rib knit

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:none

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?I'm not sure if I will make more. I'm trying to decide if I think its flattering. I got the class on sale and think it was worth the sale price.

Conclusion: Here's my blog if you would like to see more.

I think it looks very nice. You could change the color of the cami to go with another outfit.

Well done! I'm new to sewing knits too and just finished a dress similar to this. I think your dress is quite flattering, and I just might go check out that Craftsy class myself!
