Pattern Description:
Flared or straight, pullover dress, mid-knee, has mock wrapped bodice with or without sleeves
Pattern Sizing:
BB - I used Size 14 however it was far too big. had to be taken in quite a bit on the shoulders.
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 liked the cut of the dress however I found the cross over to show a little more cleavage than I may have liked. Have to wear a cami under especially for work meetings.
Fabric Used:
floral printed matte jersey
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I found the back bodice to be quite wide so I had to make some alternations to bring the sides in.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, i would sew it again however, I think id make the same changes as I did before. Yes, I would recommend.
Conclusion:
I made version B of this dress. It was easy to make & therefore I highly recommend to anyone wanting a simple faux crossover dress. no fuss as its a great pullover.
