Pattern Description: Sleeveless jersey dress with side draping.

Pattern Sizing: I made the smallest size.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yep!

Were the instructions easy to follow? No, as they were in Japanese, but the pictorial instructions helped a lot!

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? It's a simply yet clever design.

Fabric Used: 1.5m lightweight cotton jersey.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? This is the second version I've made, and I would definitely recommend it to others - it's such a comfy dress to wear!

Conclusion: Love the easyness of this dress - it was quick to sew (once you got the hang of tracing out the pattern), and is a lovely dress to wear that always draws comments. You can check it, plus loads of other sewing and knitting projects, out on my blog, Jorth!

Fantastic! I am hoping to use Sandra Betzina's V1297 to get the same effect. This is just gorgeous, and I love the color.

I just got Drape Drape 2 for Christmas and so it's wonderful to see such a great version for inspiration.
