Pattern Description: A simple dress with a lining and invisible zipper

Pattern Sizing: I used a size 10 this time

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 I could follow them on my own the second time around

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the flowing shape. I don't think I need to install an invisible zipper next time. I can easily pull this on over my head.

Fabric Used: I used a stretchy satin and a nice liner.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, I would like to make this for the summer in a heavier cotton minus the lining.

Conclusion: Love this dress. You can wear it dressy or with leggings for a casual look. And with a little shawl if it is during the day. Or with heals at night for date night!
I sewed a size 10 and much better. Don't forget this is a flowing dress. Great with the zipper or sew the back in one piece without the zipper.
Fun pattern

This is just a darling dress--LOVE the fabric!! I, too, had my eye on this pattern, so appreciate the review. Loved reading your blog and all the helpful styling pics--this dress can go dressy or casual!

This looks SO much better than your first version! The smaller size fits you much better. And it was good to read that in sewing this a second time you felt more confident with the process.

Thank you very much! I loved learning how to sew a dress with a liner. This pattern was very helpful for that. It can be confusing the first time around. I am sooo thrilled that I made a dress that is cute and fits me. Here it is -38 degrees with the wind, but I will wear it to work tomorrow with purple leggings and the black shawl. I just have to show it off.

Great job! Much better at a size 10. I also find trouble with pattern sizes not matching the description on the envelope to what your measurements really are! Thanks for the detail on your blog! I am going to start this pattern now for my daughter. You were a great inspiration!
