Pattern Description: Fitted Empire bodice with pleated or gathered skirt options. Three sleeve options. Two dress length options, plus numerous trim options.

Pattern Sizing:XXS to XXL (bust 32 to 44)

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, the directions were great.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?I love the cute empire waist and the pleat version of the dress. It is just "cute."

Fabric Used:Sandy Henderson's Meadowsweet fabric

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:I altered the pattern considerably in the bodice. This dress is so fitted that you must customize the bodice fit for each person. I did not alter any of the other pattern pieces, they fit great. I detailed some of my bodice fitting issues on my blog: http://saintnoltsews.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-bebe-dress-serendipity-studio.html

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?yes, this is a very sweet dress and a great option for summer.

Conclusion: Great dress with fun details.

What a perfect fit and proportion for you. I could see this in a lot of different fabrics too. All your hard work fitting it properly paid off.
