Video Pattern Review

Pattern Description: Misses' knit dress, each in two lengths. Suitable for day or evening.

Pattern Sizing: 6-14 Made size 12 (View A)

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, it did.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I think the neckline is to low, I had to wear a cami under it.
The bodice has a lot of ease. It may be good for someone who is more endowed but I could have
gone down a size.
I didn't like the use of facings to finish the necklines.
They don't sit as well as a full lining for the bodice would have.
I loved the dolman sleeve, its very flattering.
I liked that they used elastic to reinforce the garters at the waistline & put it in the directions
so I didn't have to think of it on my own.

Fabric Used: Rayon Jersey

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? No

Conclusion: If could do it again, I would take up the neckline and make a full bodice lining.
Otherwise, I love the look of this dress.
