Pattern Sizing: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?yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? When I first saw this pattern I liked everything except for the sleeves. Because I prefer 3/4 length sleeves. But after seeing the many reviews of this pattern, I liked the way the sleeves looked. So I decided to try it and now I'm really liking the sleeves.
Fabric Used:ITY Jersey from G Street
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I lined the skirt and narrowed the sleeve cuffs.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I may sew this again if I find the right fabric. But I do recommend it. It come together very quickly.
Conclusion: I'm OK with the dress overall but I prefer McCall 5974 the Perfect Knit Dress. I think 5974 is much more flattering for my body type. If I was to make this again I may change the skirt to add little gathers/pleats to hide the tummy area but the front ties are working for now. I'm not happy with my fabric choice, Although I love the fabric, I wished I would have saved it for another dress style. Sometimes when I look at it I see "silk bathrobe" LOL!! Come on. I know I'm not the only one! |

Now there's a dress to banish the winter blues. Great job - love your fabric.

I think your dress looks beautiful. I don't see silk bathrobe at all. Now I have to try McCall's 5974 and compare.

Sharp looking dress, very flattering. Reminds me of Pucci prints of the 60's.

Sorry everyone, but I agree with her on the style of this dress...this one does not have the va va voom of her other dresses! The fabric selection an construction are awesome, but the look is just not her usual style!

It's stunning and deserves to be worn a LOT

1SewSweet: Thank you! I agree! I really want to like this dress, so I took it apart and took in the seams to make it more fitted. I think one of the problems was that it was a little big on me.

I'm agreeing this dress is pretty! And I do NOT think it looks anything like a bathrobe! Are you kidding me??? It's very nice. Start loving it.

I love your fabric choice and I love how this dress looks on you. You may be alone on the bathrobe thing

I think your dress looks great. I certainly did not think bathrobe when I saw it. I actually think the fabric makes this dress pattern look better.

No bathrobe here - a very pretty dress is what I see!
1/28/13 7:29 AM
Bathrobe?! No way! Love it.

Super gorgeous dress! I love the fabric which you always pick the most beautiful fabrics? Nothing like a bathrobe at all!

Gorgeous dress.

I just made this dress in an olive green and love it. I saw that you made a lining for the bottom. I tried to do the same but the lining was too small. Unfortunately the lining doesn't have any give to it. Can you share some pointers on how to make the lining since there is no lining?

OhSewLaDonna- I used the skirt pattern piece to cut out my lining. I used a tricot lining. It has stretch to it. I basted the lining to the skirt piece before sewing it to the bodice.

Thanks a million! That's exactly what I need, A lining w/some stretch.
