Pattern Description:
Casual, young styles enhancing the feel-good effect. Hoody, long-shirt and skirt, all with cord tie casings, suited to a wide variety of uses, favorite coordinates at all times. (copied from website description)
Pattern Sizing:
6-18
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
not really
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Mostly, although I thought the waistband instructions were confusing. I had to end up ripping stitches and doing it over without the instructions so that the right side of the waistband was facing outward.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
It's comfy and like the style. I had been looking for a hoodie dress pattern...although I didn't make a hoodie dress this time.
I do not like the neckline...it's big yet too small for an off-the-shoulder dress.
Fabric Used:
some kind of itchy knit
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I made the sleeves fitted.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I will try this again using sweatshirt material and I will attach the hood. I still recommend it keeping in mind that you do have to alter the neckline.
Conclusion:
I still got compliments!

You look great and so does this dress. I made this just a few days ago and detested the neckline! It ended up looking horrible on me and I doubt I'll ever wear it. Thanks for reviewing - I was waiting to see if someone else would. Congratulations on success!

Cute dress! I have this patern as well, and the fabric too. Thank you so much for the heads up on the neckline. I think I'll use a neckline binding here (Sarah Veblen's tutorial) to keep it in shape.
