Pattern Description: A-line skirt with scalloped hem and a side invisible zipper.

Pattern Sizing: I measured a 10, cut a 12, probably should have been an 8. Hence more A-line than I would like as I graded the seams back out to make the scallops work.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? More or less - see above

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yep!

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the versitility and the scallop detail.

Fabric Used: cotton sateen with a little stretch.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Graded waist in.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes

Conclusion: Pretty happy with how this one tunred out. Now just need tore-trace smaller for the next one!
