    Pattern Description: Misses' bridal and bridesmaid gown.

    Pattern Sizing: (6-8-10-12-14)

    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? the pleats at the top were a little challenging to understand at first. definitely recommend a muslin.

    What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? draping is beautiful.

    Fabric Used: woven satin with lycra,

    Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: shortened to tea length (used the lining cutting lines as a guide)

    Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes - a somewhat challenging pattern with all the curves but very nicely put together.

    Conclusion: looks lovely on my DD. Deep V in back requires bra alterations and lingerie loops on shoulders to keep it up. i used a satin with lycra so it had a little stretch - for a lined dress, i wouldn't bother with lycra unless you can find a nice lining with stretch as well. Very nice for formal/semiformal occasion.

    I have this pattern and your comments have helped decide if it's worth a muslin. Thanks!
