Pattern Description:
Mesh dress/beach coverup.

Pattern Sizing:
Size 38.

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.

I have a mesh fabric that I didn't know what to do with... Made me want to make this dress! I have this issue too! Beautiful! Was it as fitted looking as the photo in the magazine?

mikgirl, it's pretty fitted. I forgot to mention that I made the sleeves a bit larger than the pattern calls for.

Looks like the perfect use for a big mesh print. Great dress!
