Pattern Description:
Misses Top, Tunic, Dress and Belt: Pullover, Loose Fitting top A, Tunic B, Dress C have front gathers, self faced front yoke, stand up collar, gathered three-quater lenght sleeves with sleeve bands, stiched hems and self belt.

Pattern Sizing:
18 - 24

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes it did

Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions are SUPER easy and this is a quick project. about 2 hours from Cut to last press.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like how easy it is and how fast it is

Fabric Used:
A linen from Joann's Red Tag Table 3 years ago.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I made no alterations- My point was to make this as a night shirt to wear with White rayon knit yoga pants (My sisters Pajamas) The look is fabulous and in the summer this lounge wear will be very cool.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I might give the tunic a try in a print or plain. Although on me this top gives a bit of maternity look to it

Conclusion:
This is a very fast and fun shirt to make with a little imagination you can do a lot with this pattern.
