Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? I think so
Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy. I just made this dress in a red polyester knit about a week ago. I loved it and thought it would also be great in a ponte knit.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved the tucks and the simplicity of the dress
Fabric Used: This time I used a ponte knit that I had in my stash. Probably purchased from JoAnns.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Since this is the second incarnation of this dress, I might give it a rest at this point. But I do love it.
Conclusion: I love this dress. The fit was a bit snugger than I wanted. When I made it before I did make some fit alterations when I cut it and it was too big. So I thought this time I would eliminate those alterations. I should have kept them at least at the waist. The part of my body that's loathe the most. I did pair this with my favorite leather jacket and matching shoes, so I thought I could get away with it until I ratchet up my workout routine (after Christmas of course!)
Even though it was snugger than I like wearing my clothes, it was/is an incredibly comfortable dress.
