Pattern Description: Lined pullover dresses.

Pattern Sizing: Sizes 6 - 22, I used a 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? Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Simple style and easy to make

Fabric Used: Cotton voile

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I added length to the bodice and the the skirt so it finished mid knee. Chose style A and added the overlay from Style B and also curved the hem on the piece underneath for a floatier feel. I did not line the dress but chose to use fabric bias strips for front and facings for armholes. I wanted a cool dress so didn't want the extra layer of lining. We have just had some pretty hot days so managed to finish it for our 41C degree day!

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Not sure at this stage.

Conclusion: As I mentioned I wanted a cool dress for the warmer weather, it did seem quite blousey on so may have needed a smaller size.
