Pattern Description: I picked View C -- a bubble hemmed dress with a ribbon around the waist.

Pattern Sizing:Large -- size 18 months.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?Sort of, I liked mine better since I used a silk with less body.

Were the instructions easy to follow?Yes, I followed them well enough even though I'm a beginner.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?I LOVED the skirt. It was the first time I gathered successfully, so yay!

Fabric Used:A pretty yard of silk from Mood that my husband bought me.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:I followed the advice given here and did not sew the side hems before sewing the bias tape around arms. I did all French hems because I was afraid of the silk fraying. I also put a ribbon around the seams at the waist to make it look nicer on the inside. Hand picked zipper.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?Yes. I would consider using another cotton (non-quilting) to try it again.

Conclusion: I love the way this looks on my baby.

	ChristmasHills said... It is stunning. Love the dark background on the silk combined with your dark touches. Really lovely. I'm curious whether you lengthened the dress as it is quite long. 1/31/13 2:04 AM

	ninjakitten said... Christmadhillis, I made it for size 18 months and my daughter is 11 months. They grow like weeds and she is small for her size besides. 1/31/13 2:01 PM
