Pattern Description:
Well this pattern has been reviewed so many times what could I possibly addd ? I made up the classic twist top but there is also a simple scoop neck with front gathers and a wrap surplice style, both which I have also made many times with great success. My twist top I used cute little cap sleeves.
Pattern Sizing:
Multi. I cut and sewed my usual 12 with only a 2 inch lengthening, it seemed a little short
Fabric Used:
Rayon lycra, fine knit
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?
Simple as puddeny pie LOL, A GREAT beginner pattern. I just scooped out al ittle more in the inner curve area so there would be less of a bulk under the twist. Also be sure in either use clear elastic to stabilze neckline or use bias fusible stay tape as I did to keep from stretching-gapping.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Love love this pattern as so many have too. I actually have two as first got abit worn a bargain at next 99 cent Joan sale to stock up on before outta print !
