Pattern Description: Made from RTW

Pattern Sizing: Plus size Petite

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? n/a

Were the instructions easy to follow? I made the instructions so it was a piece of cake

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Nothing I just need more fabric to make more of these.

Fabric Used: Rayon Jersey Knit

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I used biased binding at the neck line and also a zig zag stitch for the seams to create a smooth finish.

Would you sew it again? Yes I can't wait to make more of these to increase my wardrobe. Would you recommend it to others? If you have a RTW dress that fits well I say lay it out and recreate it you won't be disappointed. Will show more details the next time.
