What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
LIKES: I liked the slim silhouette, the pockets which do not gape, and the small amount of fabric required.
DISLIKES: I wish the pattern had neckline variations.
Fabric Used: Ralph Lauren wool houndstooth from Mood Fabrics
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I shortened the bodice and shortened the skirt due to my height.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I hope to sew it again and recommend it to others.
Conclusion: This is a very well-drafted pattern that should work well with many fabrics.
