Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes. In fact, even cuter.
I went with the optional flat piping on the skirt seams, which really brings it up a notch. Also contrast bodice lining just for the sake of it, and some cute feature buttons on the shoulders.

Dress

Flat Piping

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, very. Clear, easy to understand, and with nice sensible diagrams to help you along.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love the extra details (like the flat piping ... never tried this before but I'm loving it).
And the overall shape is lovely.

Fabric Used:
Quilting cotton. It's a bit heavy and stiff, but with this pattern you can get away with it.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I'm going to do another in a lighter fabric. It's such a sweet little dress I'd like to do a couple more before Miss 2 grows to large for a pattern that only goes up to 3T.

Conclusion:
Highly recommended.
Lots of fun.
Easy enough for novice sewers, with a few little extra options for those with more skills.

Your dress is lovely. I agree with you on the easiness of this dress. I finished one yesterday for my granddaughter and it was a joy to make. Wonderful pattern.
