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?
Very, except I put my sleeves in flat.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I loved doing this on my serger. It was very easy. I may use this pattern again to make a regular dress.
Fabric Used:
A poly or nylon mesh fabric. I got this on line from an eBay shop that sells designer Save the Queen! fabric.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Lengthened arms and overall length to accommodate my long frame.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Sure, I might.
Conclusion:
Nice easy pattern that makes a more unusual beach coverup. There are more photos on my blog.
