Pattern Description: Misses' & plus size dress in two lengths and tunic have front twist; dress has long or 3/4 length sleeves. Cardigan has asymmetrical front and long sleeves; pull on pants have elastic waist. Khaliah Ali Collection.

Pattern Sizing: 10-18; 20W-28W

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, except it's a little lower cut due to the FBA/low bust adjustment I had to do.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the neckline and the twist in the front.

Fabric Used: ITY jersey purchased from fabric.com last summer

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: FBA/low bust adjustment. This took me a while to figure out becuase of the shape of the upper front piece but it turned out well. I also narrowed the shoulders by 3/4" because I don't like the dropped shoulder look and I''m narrow and also cut the back elastic about 4.25" shorter than called for because I wanted the back to fit a little more snugly.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will definitely be making this up again as I got lots of compliments when I wore it to work. I would also recommend it to others and would be glad to help with the FBA if anyone needs it.

Conclusion: This will be a great addition to my pattern collection and will definitely be used again.

The back fits perfectly. The front view picture doesn't enlarge enough for me to see it.

Wow, What a great topand you did a good job with the front bust adjustment. Looks like it fits perfect. What a great diea to pull the back in closer with the elastic. It is super flattering in the back...which to me I think is equally important but not so easy. You should make this again and very nice of you to offer on the bust adj. Great top, thanks for the review. and I do like this designer as well ...she has some great patterns.

Thanks for the great review. You look great in this top. I would be very interested in how you did your bust adjustments.
