Pattern Description: MISSES’ TUNIC, DRESS AND BELT: Semi-fitted, pullover tunics A, C or above mid-knee dresses B, D have cowl-like collar, short or long dolman sleeves and belt. Purchased top, pants and belt.

Pattern Sizing: BB(8-10-12-14), F5(16-18-20-22-24). I made size 14.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Not quite because I used a thicker and stiffer knit so the garment hangs differently. Also I added a small tab and button detail on the cowl neck.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy! No need to read the instructions.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love everything about it. Since it's a simple garment, it's easy to add design details to it to make it your own!

Fabric Used: Heather grey sweatshirt fleece remnant in my stash.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: There is a centre back seam because I do not have enough fabric. Also I added a tab and button design detail on the cowl neck(closeup).

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes and Yes!

Conclusion: Very quick and easy to make. Easy to add your own design details! Highly recommended (like all other reviews on this pattern).

digs57	11/8/09	Very nice! The collar tab+button is an inspired addition, it turned a casual top into a very elegant one.

Barbara V	11/8/09	Very pretty. With just one small tab and button detail placed at the focal point you created a garment uniquely yours. Great fit. Really nice!
