Pattern Description: Misses' sleeveless shift dress or top has pleated neckline detail and back zipper. Princess-seamed coat or jacket has stand collar. Coat has long sleeves; jacket has 3/4 sleeves. Slim pants have side zipper.

Pattern Sizing: 10 to 22.

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? extremely easy

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? loved the dress & top.

Fabric Used: stretch satin

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
After completing the floral top, I discovered that it didn't need the zipper in the back, so I took that out & sewed up the CB seam.
I didn't bother with the side splits in the hem either.
I then made the emerald green satin top & decided to do a gathered neckline instead of the pleats.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes I imagine I will, as this is a nice basic shell top that is fast to sew.
I can see a few more of these tops being made, & might try one with the darts as well to give it mor shape (I think it needs to be tucked in when made without the darts, as its a bit loose fitting for my liking)
I will probably make the dress at some point too.
I would recommend this pattern as it is a nice quick pattern suitable even for beginners....

Conclusion: great pattern, nice & fast, & easy to sew.
