Pattern Description: Above or below mid-knee length dresses have fitted bodice, sleeveless or sleeve length variations, waist seam, tucked skirt, side slant pockets, back zipper and hemline slit;

Pattern Sizing: 4 - 12, 14 - 20

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?The instructions were very easy and very clear.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
LIKES: I liked the slim silhouette, the pockets which do not gape, and the small amount of fabric required.
DISLIKES: I wish the pattern had neckline variations.

Fabric Used: Ralph Lauren wool houndstooth from Mood Fabrics

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I shortened the bodice and shortened the skirt due to my height.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I hope to sew it again and recommend it to others.

Conclusion: This is a very well-drafted pattern that should work well with many fabrics.

Great dress in that houndstooth fabric. Very classic. The pink scarf adds a terrific pop of color.

So cute and much more interesting than a basic black dress but accessorizes just as well!

Great dress! I really like the houndstooth. I think I need to make a version of this dress, if not the same exact one! Nice job!
