Pattern Description: Misses/women's jumper in two lengths, pants and jacket or vest with tie belt

Pattern Sizing:10, 12, 14, 16, 18

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?Exactly like it. I made the vest, view D.

Were the instructions easy to follow?Unusually easy, not much to this guy

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?It's very easy and flattering to lots of body shapes. Dislike, in one spot of the instructions, they have you mark lines on the collar but never came back and said what the marks were for. I might have missed the information but I didn't really need it anyway. A beginner might have trouble with this one little area.

Fabric Used: A wool woven I bought on sale from one of the online fabric sellers, I can't remember which one.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: No alterations but my fabric was a little flimsy so I added silk organza underlining and a full bemberg rayon lining.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?I will definitely sew this again and already have my wool herringbone at the dry cleaners being prepped.

Conclusion: Extremely happy with this pattern and can't wait to make it again.
