Pattern Description: Misses faux wrap dress/tunic with sash ties
Pattern Sizing: Misses and it's pretty true to it's sizing
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? It does, it really does!
Were the instructions easy to follow? These really were- I used a wovn material- so maybe I didn't follow all instructions, but I could have!
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? This went together like lightening! I have always rolled my eyes at the 'very easy' on a Vogue, but I swear, it was really easy!
Fabric Used: A zigzag weave rayon from Hancock- hey, I almost sewed a solid color!
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None! I have no hidden mistakes that I turned into 'design whims' it really was an easy pattern.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Ok, fine- you can all make it and look great too, I guess I can share this victory!
Conclusion: I feel like a chantuese in this- it's slinky and becoming. I'm really pleased!! A few more thoughts:

You look like a MILLION BUCKS in this tunic, and I'm PEA GREEN! :o) I was JUST looking at this pattern not more than a week ago, but at the time I thought, all those pleats (or whatever), I don't want to take that much TIME -- ha! So I'm really glad to hear that it makes up so quickly (and beautifully). :o) 12/10/12 2:34 PM
