Pattern Description: Girls' dress & pullon skirt with flounces; two styles of jackets. All unlined. This review is for the jacket view F.

Pattern Sizing: Girls' 3 - 8. This jacket was a size 6 for my skinny 6yr old DD#2.

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? Over the years I've sewn views A, B, C & now F, and I've always been happy with the result (fit & style); and my girls are happy to wear them!.

Fabric Used:Twill weave pink denim from Alja (Geneva, Switz) & twill weave cotton contrast "stripes" fabric from Fabricville.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
- I added a hanging loop which is always useful on jackets.
- I continued to practice hongkong seaming following on from the jacket I had made for DD#1.

Back view

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I highly reccommend this pattern. The dresses & skirts have that "twirl" factor so desirable by most little girls.
(I'll be includeing reviews of A & C as soon as I do the photos).

Conclusion: A great pattern! The pattern dates from 2007, you may be able to find it on eBay.

Thank-you for the heads-up about the links--I'm a newbie to Picasa. I've fixed the sharing now, the links should work.
