VIDEO REVIEW

Pattern Description: Pullover tunic or dress has front extending into back collar, fitted, front pleated bodice, raised waist, tie ends, two-piece sleeves with barrel cuffs, and stitched hem.

Pattern Sizing: 8-16. I made size 12 (top) 14 (skirt)

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?I loved the sleeves of this dress, that is what first got my attention. I love the empire waistline, the surplice bodice and the shawl collar. I think the raglan sleeves are a great touch, its a softer shoulder and the sleeves hang nicely. I also liked that they offer a pencil and a full skirt version, It has a version to flatter any body type.
Fabric Used: Model Jersey
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None, but I did go down a size (on the bodice) because I didn't want a lot of ease in the bust area.
Conclusion: Its a great pattern and it went together very quickly once I had it cut out. I highly recommend it.
Buy this pattern for $16.88  List Price: $22.50   Add to Bag Add to Bag

I just finished this dress and wish I had done as you did and gone down a size in the bodice. It's still a great dress and yours is very flattering on you.
