Pattern Description: Misses dresses with pleated skirt I made dress A/D and attached the 'bow' belt from C.

Pattern Sizing: I used size 8 (I wanted size 6 but adjusted for it)

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

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I liked all of it - and just wish it came in xs or size 6

Fabric Used: I used some fabric from the 'curtain' section of the fabric store (Shiny embossed Satin) although it had to be fully lined (dont want that rubbing on your skin) and took some careful ironing, the end result was worth it.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: adjusted bust area, reduced height of dress and reduced the skirt circumference by removing the back 2 pleats - as they joined exactly at the zip. I also made two narrow 'back neck' darts.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I've kept my alterations to can make it again and most likely will.

Conclusion: Really good pattern. A classic dress that can be dressed up or down depending on fabric choice and also accessories.

Your dress looks gorgeous and fits you well with the modifications. I sew for my daughter and, like you, wish the sizing went to a 4 or 6. Some of the New Look Workroom patterns go down to a 6, as do the McCalls Generation Next patterns.
