This was an easy dress to make that included separate patterns for bra cups sizes.

This is my second favorite of the four dresses that I made for her (Christmas gift).
It is described as: MISSES'/MISS PETITE DRESSES: Fitted dress has neck binding and back zipper. A: baby narrow hem on armholes. B: long sleeves. C:front and back applied to yokes, attached hem band and bias armhole binding. D: three-quarter sleeves. B and D: narrow hem on sleeves. A/B, C, D cup sizes.

Pattern Sizing:
The pattern comes in sizes 6 to 22. I used size 10 with a few modifications.

Pin Made by my DD

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, it did.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
There was nothing confusing about the instructions. Easy.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
This is a current style and DD liked the design. I like the bodice options and the sleeve variations.

Fabric Used:
Believe it or not. This is left over fabric from my Tracey Reese inspired red dress.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I made the usual pattern adjustments.
- pigeon chest adjustment and narrowed the center back section.
- Sway back adjustment
- added to the side seams below the bust area.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I will probably make it at least one more time. Love this dress and do recommend it.

Conclusion: This is a nice trendy, but classic, style that offers a few variations. It's easy to sew and is flattering on most figures.
