Pattern Description:
A dolman sleeved knit dress with four pleats on side.

Pattern Sizing:
From 6 to 30. I made a size 8.

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?
There are not many instructions, which I think would be helpful for beginners. But even with the minimum instructions this pattern contained, the sewing was easy and pretty intuitive, since the construction of the dress is easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like the design. Also the pattern is pretty versatile and can be easily modified.
Fabric Used:
Panel knit jersey
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I omitted the back seam, added 10cm to both the skirt and the sleeves
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, yes and yes!
Conclusion:
A must-have in your wardrobe! It's a great slip-on dress; if you are late to work you put it on in one second and you'd look lovely
