Pattern Description:
Pullover dress with or without cap sleeves is shaped slightly A-lined
Pattern Sizing:
12- 16, I made the size 16 Version B
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?
Quick and easy to make
Fabric Used:
Linen
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I added extra width to the sleeves by slashing and spreading the sleeve pattern by 3 cm (just over one inch). I used a 3/4 inch width self fabric bias binding made using a bias tape maker. It was the first time I used this tool and I'm converted. I prefer a bound neckline to a facing. I also lengthened Version B by 2 inches.
Front
Back
Neckline
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes.
Conclusion:
A simple design, easy to sew, comfortable to wear but requires a soft and draping fabric so that it doesn't look too much like a sack.

Very pretty dress. I have this pattern but haven't made it yet. Your review is inspiring me to sew it. How long is the dress on you? I can't tell by the pictures.
