Pattern Description: Misses' knit mini-dress, tunic and top can be made with a front twist or draped neckline with five different sleeve variations to choose from.

Pattern Sizing: 4-12 (I made a size 12)

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, using the correct fabric the neck draped perfectly

Were the instructions easy to follow? This is a very easy pattern, the instruction were clear and precise. Although I found the shoulders and back neckline slightly out of the ordinary

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I have made both tops off this pattern now, I found this one extremely quick and easy to make, coupled with the right fabric it is a perfect addition to my Christmas wardrobe

Fabric Used: Nylon Lycra covered in sequins

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I would sew it again, with short sleeves.

Conclusion: Excellent for beginners, great dressed up or down depending on the occassion.
