    Pattern Sizing:
    36 - 44 (10-18); I have made size 10

    Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

    The top yes; as I have changed the hem of the skirt it is not fully the same dress.

    Were the instructions easy to follow?

    Instruction is easy to follow. As I have lined the dress I had to follow my own way of sewing.

    What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

    I like the retro-look, front of the dress. I had to adjust the patter to my figure. I have removed the pleated hem of the dress and make it strait with kick pleat at the back.

    Fabric Used:

    Black Viscose with small addition of black satin for front belt and kick pleat at the back.

    Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

    I have adjusted the pattern to my size and figure. I removed the pleated hem of the skirt and make it strait. I have made this dress fully lined.

    Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

    I would dew it again as I like the shape. I like specially the top part and probably I will make as louse/top based on it.
    As I have so many other patters of dresses probably this one will need to wait - unless a customer would like to have it.

    Conclusion:

    It is definitely great wardrobe builder and essential. It is easy to be wear as daily dress (with a jacket or alone) as well as an eventing dress - in my case the satin finishing is making it easier.

    Gorgeous dress! I love the satin ribbon and kick pleat, and the fit is perfect! The buttons at the back of the neck are a lovely touch.

    Thank you so much for this review. I have wanted this dress pattern ever since it first appeared on the Burda website Vintage diaporama. And I am happy to see that the FO lives up to the line drawing.
