Pattern Description: Misses lined dress

Pattern Sizing: 10-18


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? I didn't really look at the directions until I got to the skirt portion. They were CONFUSING. I don't know if I was tired or what but I made it WRONG the first time. I ended up sewing ALL the pieces together so I had this one long piece of tulle. HORRIBLE lol. I then realized I was supposed to have FIVE different tulle skirts. It could have just been me but I really was confused lol.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? This style dress really looked like my inspiration piece.


Fabric Used: I used stretch velvet for the bodice and middriff and tulle for the skirt.


Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I only used a lining in the skirt portion. I did NOT line the bodice or put in a zipper. I finished off the edges with FOE (Fold over elastic) and added a belt that I purchased.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will NOT sew this again lol. ONe of this dress is enough. I would make if for a client if requested but I don't need another in my wardrobe.

Conclusion: I loved wearing this dress and got compliments all night
