Pattern Description: pants, skirt, and a beautifully seamed blouse with two sleeve options

Pattern Sizing: 6-22

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 loved the cut and the seaming - flattering for a larger bust

Fabric Used: a rayon print jersey from Fabric Mart

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I did not use a back zipper closure since I was using a knit for this pattern. I also substituted the neckline and sleeve band pieces with FOE (foldover elastic)

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes & yes

Conclusion: I'm really pleased with the results, and I might try it with a woven (even though I generally prefer anything knit on top).

	Cathy Loves Fabric said... It's amazing this pattern produces such a nice shape for a large bust. Based on your top I'm going to have to give it a try. Thanks Sandi, you look fantastic and your reviews are a big help. 1/1/13 4:18 AM
