Pattern Description: Misses' Pullover Dress or Top, Pull-On Pants and Kimono

Pattern Sizing: XXS - XXL - I cut the medium (size 14 - 16)

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? Very easy - this would be great for beginners.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love how quick and easy it is. I also like how on trend this top is right now. I have a similar RTW top that I absolutely adore.

Fabric Used: Silky satin

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: none, I sewed this straight out of the envelope.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Would defiitely sew this view again. However I am not 100% sure that I would sew the other views. I am quite aware that if I made the top any longer I would have to grade out at the hips, which would be fine, but as a dress I am not convinced that it would be flattering on me.

Conclusion: Love this, and this it would work in a variety of elegant fabrics. I would really like to make this in a georgette fabric.
