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.
