Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes it did to a degree but I found the finished garment measurements quite off. It was wayyyyy too small the first time I made it
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, all of Cynthia Rowley instructions are easy
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I dislike how high it sits at the waist, I also REALLY dislike the uneven pleating - for me, this just looks like you've made your own adjustments and made an error in measuring. I also found the bodice quite boxy.
Also - hate buttons AND zips together. either make the buttons functional or don't have them!!
Fabric Used:
cotton
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
Gathered the skirt instead of using the uneven pleats, and took in the bodice, it was a bit too boxy
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
no I wouldn't, its just not for me. I would possibly recommend it to others, depending on their style I guess...
Conclusion:
ok, but can do better I think.

	Donel said... I think it looks really cute on. Really brings the dress to life. 4/24/13 7:30 AM
	sarahjoharris said... I like your dress a lot, especially the contrast from bodice to skirt. Your review and blog post are so helpful. I was considering sewing this up for summer but my skills (and patience level) might not be up to task! 4/24/13 10:15 AM
