Pattern Description: A line skirts in 5 lengths.

Pattern Sizing:DD (12-14-16-18)

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?Quick and easy to sew. Multiple sizes included.

Fabric Used:Cotton sateen with 3% spandex.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I inserted an invisible zip. I cut a size 14 but it was too big. I took in the side seams to get a good fit. In hindsight I should have cut a size 12. I think the 3% spandex in the cotton sateen makes a huge difference. I had already made this skirt in a cotton poplin in a size 12 but it was a little tight. See photo Click here


Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?I have already made this skirt 3 times. It is a good basic A line skirt pattern with the option of 5 different lengths. See more photos Click here


Conclusion: A great basic pattern to have.
