Pattern Description:

Pattern Sizing:
6-14. I chose my normal size 12

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes - looked like view C but shorter skirt.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
I made it a while ago but nothing jumps out at me for being particularly difficult.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I really like the pattern and thought the final product was comfortable and fit well.

Fabric Used:
Purple flowery cotton eyelet fabric from Mood - which meant that I would have to line the entire garment. It was the first bodice that I lined on my own and I thought it was going to be much simpler than it actually was. If I had to do it again today it would be much, much faster.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
If I make it again, I will remove some fabric from the skirt because it was a little too full for my taste - ESPECIALLY if you want to make the long version of the skirt. My dress initially had the long skirt but I decided it was too Little House on the Prairie and cut it shorter.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I think I would sew this dress again; probably in View A with a flower fabric.

Conclusion:

Buy this pattern for $17.95 Add to Bag
