Pattern Description: Mock wrap skirt with front draping and with or without contrast insets at waist. Elastic waistband
Pattern Sizing:6-20, I made a 16
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?Yes
Were the instructions easy to follow?Yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?I loved the draping - some other very fashionable reviewers have made this before me and I have shamelessly copied them
Fabric Used:Polyester knit from Fabricland. Contrast was remnants of a overprinted ponte
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:I lengthened it to knee length and omitted the underlining. I also attached the waistband by serger in one go rather than feeding the elastic through a casing; there's a good tutorial on the technique in this link, I put elastic in my waistband before serging it to the skirt, but if your fabric has good snappy recovery you might not need it:

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?Yes, with the right fabric this is an awesome pattern! I love the fact it's an ELASTIC WAIST but doesn't look like it!

I think because you put a V in front of the pattern number makes it a different number so your review is not linked with other reviews of this pattern. 11/23/12 6:49 AM
