8-24. I made size 12. Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

Very easy...except for the vent on the back. What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like how easy it was to put together and it did look like it was supposed to. Fabric Used:

None. Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes and I would highly recommend. Conclusion:
Although this was relatively easy to put together be warned that there are over 20 pattern pieces to cut out. It took me hours to just get it all cut out, but I have to say it was worth it. I
