Pattern Description: Misses'/Miss petite lined A-line dress has square or jewel neckline, short or 3/4 sleeve options and pocket variations.
Pattern Sizing: 12-20 I made the 12
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? Very
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved this A Line style for the fabric I had in mind.
Fabric Used: Velvet backed sequin
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I cut the back on the fold so I wouldn't have to worry about putting in a zipper. This fabric had enough stretch for me to slip it over my head. I didn't do any finishing on it. I just made sure it was cut super straight. I didn't add any facings.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I like this style but I don't know if I'll make it again. I do recommend it if you like this style. My machine hated this fabric. I ended up using a denim needle and it sewed up like a dream.
Conclusion: Great simple pattern to showcase some traffic stopping fabric. I got a TON of compliments on this at the function I was attending!
Great dress! You chose the perfect silhouette for your show-stopping fabric.
