Pattern Description: Easy

Pattern Sizing: 6-16

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes I've only made the cowl dress but 3 times in various fabrics

Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy There are only 3 pieces and one is a facing

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I liked that it was a) fast b) easy c) uses only 1 metre of fabric for my height

Fabric Used: 1) two different stretch fabrics - one cut on the bias 2) a red sequinned fabric

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Because of the curved centre back seam it was easy to make a sway back adjustment on the 2nd knit dress. The first one was just a try out but I still wear it a lot. They both have different drape but I like them both.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will definitely try the other pattern without the cowl; with the long sleeves in winter and also maybe I'll get time to do a short sleeve this summer!

Conclusion: A great dress that is easy - I made the red sequinned one in 3 hours on new year's eve 2012. My pattern envelope is much earlier than the one here but it's the same graphics but done differently.
