A semi fitted, Empire waist dress with A line skirt and pockets. The instructions are easy to follow and are especially detailed with lots of pattern support on Rae's website. I loved the flattering, mom-friendly design elements, the practical pockets and the comfy rouching. I made and FBA, normal for me, and I altered the neckline to suit my face. I have already sewn it again, changing the sleeves and neckline around. I love the dress, wear it all the time and recommend it most highly to others!
Many more details about the construction and my alterations are here. Please click through.

Some great details in your blog post about construction and fit alterations. These addressed quite a few of my questions about the pattern, so I think I may well be giving it a go in the new year. Thank you!

WoW!! I am madly in love with this dress. YOu look awesome and I agree with all of your comments on your blog about a snugger bodice and looser skirt. I will definitely try this out. Great review.

I bought this pattern partly because I love the neckline but I see it's very cute with a rounded neckline too. It does look comfy for a young mom. I plan to make a couple in rayon to wear to Bali next fall. It looks like a very easy style to wear in the tropics.
