Pattern review:
Fabric: Ponte and Tricot knits from Fabricland, these fabric have been in my stash for about two years. Pattern Description: Close fitting, lined dress has cap sleeves, front and back seam details, exposed zipper
Pattern Sizing: I cut size 14 for bodice and graded up to 16 from waist down using the waist markings and pattern line drawings .
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing it?: Pretty much I will say
Were the instructions easy to follow: So easy, especially with the pattern numbering, the odd and even pattern pieces were grouped by colour which makes it so easy
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I did few to achieve my desire look.
I lengthened the hem by 2", I could have added more because I had to reduce the hem to 1/4" from 1 1/4" which makes a total extra length of 3"
I interfaced the neckline
I used invisible zipper
Used bagging method for the lining,
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Love the style and the fit.
Would you recommend it to others?: I highly recommend to everyone who likes the style. I think one of this style is enough for me, so won't be making it again.
