Pattern Description: dress, tunic, top with two different front draping options - I am reviewing the dress this time. (Already made and love it as a top!)

Pattern Sizing: 4-20

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? yes - allowing for the swapped sleeves

Were the instructions easy to follow? yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? perfect for a border print knit!

Fabric Used: a border print ITY knit from G Street Fabrics

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I switched the sleeves to the ones from view E due to limited fabric (It was a clearance remnant).

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes & yes (already my second review from this pattern)

Conclusion: Quick to sew and really cute - more pics on my blog
