Pattern Description:
Girls' dress and coat. I made View C with View D's style of waist ribbon.

Pattern Sizing:
Girls' 3-8

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 needed a traditional little girl's dress for my daughter to do a character dance in. This one fitted the bill nicely as it has plenty of room for movement.

Fabric Used:
Sandwashed linen (I think!)

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I made it in a size 5 and lengthened to the size 7 lines on the pattern.
As mentioned, View D with a wide ribbon around the waist.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
It's a nice little dress. Not really our style for general wear, but perfect for this occasion.

Conclusion:
This is a nice little pattern. I think it would be lovely in winter fabrics teamed with the coat.
