Pattern Description: Close-fitting, lined dress has left side invisible zipper, left dart and left pleats from drape effect.
Pattern Sizing:8-16 I sewed a 12

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?I liked the side pleating

Fabric Used:The fabric is a stretchy crepe

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:I did not add a zipper. I did not line the dress. I lowered the neckline a little and added length to the sleeve. I turned the neckline seam under and stitched. I cut all the pattern pieces on the straight grain even though the instructions tells you to cut the skirt on the bias. I wanted the all the print to go in the same direction.I lengthen the skirt two inches.

another pic

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?Yes I recommend.

Conclusion: Great dress pattern. I would love to try it again cutting it on the bias if I can find a print with no directional design.
