Pattern Description:
Easy, simple dress
Pattern Sizing:
I chose size 8
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Exactly
Were the instructions easy to follow?
There were a few confusing parts about the lining.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
When finished, the bodice didn't fit right. The top edge was loose. Maybe thats me...but even with a bra, it seemed like it should have fit better.
Fabric Used:
Batik
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Shortened the skirt for my shortness. Should have trimmed the bodice to a smaller than size 8
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
With more bodice mods, yes. Pretty excited to make the other versions of the dress.
Conclusion:
Great pattern
