Pattern Description:
Boat neck dress with darts and Peter Pan collar
Pattern Sizing:

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
yes it did, although my neckline sits a little wider than shown, although of course that could be because of my body shape
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes they were
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Like: Easy to follow instructions, interesting use of darts, no pattern drafting errors
Dislike: nothing comes to mind, I love this pattern
Fabric Used:
Cotton
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None - it fit perfectly first time
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes and YES. I am planning to make this again and again and again in lots of different patterns.
Conclusion:
Go on - do it! you'll love it.
Buy this pattern for $8.96  List Price: $11.95   Add to Bag Add to Bag
