Pattern Description: Retro dress with 3/4 sleeves

Pattern Sizing: 8-16

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? On the hanger, yes. On my body, No, fits like a wet suit.

Were the instructions easy to follow? yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? interfacing directions are confusing

Fabric Used: cotton

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

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

Conclusion: This was my first sewing project. Was not aware pattern sizing is not true to actual clothing size. Other than that this project really is *EASY.

Here are the techniques or terminology you will need to know for view C: stay stitching, darts, edge finish, venting, standing collar (the straight/square edged collar that attaches to a curved neck line), basting, interfacing, understitching, hidden zipper, ease stitching, sleeves
