Pattern Description: This is a 1-hour pattern for either a tunic or dress with cowl neck and tie belt. I made view B, which is the dress with short sleeves.
Pattern Sizing: It is available in sizes 8-24.
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? So easy! This took me almost two hours but that's because I was doing double seams on a conventional machine. If you have a serger, this will be a breeze.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the cowl neck. I also like the simple design. The tie belt makes the potato sack dress very flattering.
Fabric Used:I used a poly/lycra jersey from Gorgeous Fabrics. I spent $27. It is the perfect hand and weight for a knit dress.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I sewed two sizes smaller than recommended by my measurements. Otherwise, no changes.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, I may sew this again. I would recommend this to beginners or anyone needing a last minute dress.
Sew tell me said... Thank you, thank you Birdie! I came on here just to look up this pattern number and here you were the first review in the gallery. I made this a long time ago and wanted to see how much fabric to buy to make it again and didn't want to go hunting for the pattern. Your dress is great! 12/26/12 11:07 PM
