Pattern Description:
Pull over, color block dress with short or long sleeves.

Pattern Sizing:
Standard sizing with custom bust fit. I cut a straight 10 which fit perfectly, and although I am a C cup, I cut an A cup in the pattern because the other reviews I read stated that this pattern runs large I think I made the right choice.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes! I think it does.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, there isn't a whole lot of thought to put into this one, it fits together like a puzzle.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
The bottom block was too long for me so I ended up cutting it in half before hemming it. Other than that I liked the pattern.

Fabric Used:
I used a ponte knit for the top two blocks and a heavy jersey knit for the bottom red block.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I probably won't because it is such a distinct style of dress but I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who is into the color block trend this season. See more photos on my blog. Thanks for reading!
