Pattern Sizing: I made the size 6 top and waist tapered to a size 10 hip.
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, but I changed the order in which I did things. I prefer to put the back zipper in before the side seams for easier adjustment. Since there is an upper lining, I had to do things my own way instead of how the instructions intended.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the visual interest of the uneven hem.
Fabric Used: Printed rayon.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I shortened the length by cutting from the bottom edge. I also machine sewed all the hems. As mentioned above, I put the zipper in before sewing in the lining pieces, so my construction ended up being a tad different.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes! This is the second time I've used the pattern - the first time was for the top.
