Pattern Description:
Misses coordinates--tops, pants and skirt.

Pattern Sizing:
10-22. I traced it but neglected to write the size I traced. Oops! I think I made either a 12 or 14, probably a 12.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yeah, actually the pattern cover model's top is black and white, like mine. Though with a different fabric.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, very. This is actually the second time I've made this, but the first time doing View B. The first time I did View C.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
It's easy and flattering. It's a great way to showcase a really wild print like the one I used.

Fabric Used:
ITY from Fabric Mart Fabrics. I think it was around $5 or $6 bucks a yard. Cheap!

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I lengthened the torso by 3" and the arms by 3".

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I have made this once already. I don't need tons of tops like this one so I think I'll move on to something else! It's cute though, and it's nice to have a TNT should I need one! Now on to making one of my 100+ other patterns!

Conclusion:
Nice, easy, quick pattern to make, with really nice results. Great if you have a nice print you want to showcase. Definitely recommend this one.
