Pattern Description:
Misses close-fitting dress.

Pattern Sizing:
Sizes 6-20. I used 8.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, but shortened for a top.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like the draped neckline and have worn this top a lot since sewing it in May 2012. It layers well with a close-fitting cami underneath for modesty and a cardigan or blazer over it.

Fabric Used:
Purple rayon lycra 4-way stretch knit purchased a couple of years ago from the local shop Homespun.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
To make this top, I shorted the pattern front at the top of the side darts, and shortened the back at a corresponding length.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Maybe I would sew this again, though I have so many other patterns to try.

Conclusion:
I prefer the top version of this pattern, as I found the side darts to be too much trouble when I made this as a dress in 2012.
