Pattern Description: Close fitting dress with side panel gathering.

Pattern Sizing: 8-22

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? Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Like the gathering along the side panels and the fit of this dress.

No dislikes.

Fabric Used: ITY knit

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

- I added 1" to the sleeve length

- I shortened the dress by 1.25" because I did not have enough fabric for the length of the pattern.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I am planning on sewing this again. I would recommend this pattern to others.

Conclusion: I LOVE how easy this was to make. It came together quickly without me even pushing myself. This dress would lend itself nicely to color blocking.
