VIDEO REVIEW

Pattern Description: Fitted dress (close-fitting through bust), has self-lined bodice, seam detail, side front pockets, invisible back zipper and vent.

Pattern Sizing: 14-22 ( I made size 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? Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Likes: The design of the pattern Dislikes: Cleavage is too low, dress is too short.

Fabric Used: Rayon Blend

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I added an inch of length for the dress, could have added another inch.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I wouldn't sew it again, but the pattern goes together very well for having so many seams so I would recommend it.

Conclusion: You may want to lengthen the dress and take up the neckline, but it worth making it fits very well.
