Pattern Sizing:
6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18
I made a size 10, which is my usual size in Simplicity. Fit well.

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? Cuts out in 4 pieces. Wears easy. Sews up quickly. Open neck without falling off my shoulders.

Fabric Used:
First time I used a cotton lawn.
Second time I used what I assume to be a cotton/silk blend.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I did same fabric bias for the neckline both times. I found it finished really nicely. The second time I changed the finish of the neckline and sleeves by sewing my bias tape on using a center guide foot and offsetting my needle. it gives it a faux-piping look on the edges. The fabric handles this treatment well--some fabrics would tend to flip if not topstitched.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Probably will sew it again.

Conclusion:
