Pattern Description: Princess seamed dress with pleated skirt.

Pattern Sizing: Size 8

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? This is an old pattern from the late 80's. I shortened the skirt and added lace.

Were the instructions easy to follow?Yes.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? The fit is very slimming.

Fabric Used: Polished cotton

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Shortened the skirt and added lace.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes. The style also has sleeves. I made this in the late 80's in a mid calf version out of jersey.

Conclusion:

thumbsup Pattern with more than 5 reviews!
