Pattern Description: Misses' Dresses and Sash
Pattern Sizing: 6 to 22 I cut a 14 but should have cut the 12
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? I like the princess bodice, doing the FBA was easy. I love the hidden pockets.
Fabric Used: Cotton Jacquard Purchased from Gail K Fabrics. Its funny because its been in my stash for years. I didn't have enough to make the sash. I went there with a swatch and they knew exactly where it was.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I shorten the bodice and did my FBA. I didn't need to shorten the bodice.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes and yes I am getting ready to make another.
Conclusion: This is a great pattern. When I make my next one I think I will not have as many pleats, as the pleats add to my frame. If you are tall make sure you do a muslin for the length of the bodice because its a little short. Although its discontinued I know its in your stash
