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?
the fit was problematic and I needed to make a number of adjustments that I normally do not have to do
Fabric Used:
Cotton sateen
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
dart in the neck, shortened the bodice, v-neck back, omitted facings and used bias tape
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Now that I have made alterations to it I would definitely make it again
Conclusion:
A really nice pattern if you can get it to fit ok - me, it didn't fit out of the box, but now that I have altered it I am super happy with it.

Well, I don't know where to start...this dress is just beautiful on you! It was SO worth your fitting efforts. The neckline, bodice and pleated A-line skrit are all very flattering to your shape. Glad to see you doing the happy dance in your lovely floral dress. This pattern had not called to me until I saw your photos.

I see it is not only little girls who like a swirly skirt! I am so boring as I would have looked at that fabric I thought I couldn't possibly have a dress in that but my gosh you looked at and saw a fabulous creation. It is utterly stupendous.
