Pattern Description: knit dress

Pattern Sizing: I made a straight 14 despite the fact that honest measuring would put me in more of a 16/18. This is my normal size in knit dresses though. I probably could even go a little smaller if I wanted it really tight but I wanted a bit left to the imagination.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?I changed the neck line so not exactly.

Were the instructions easy to follow?yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?I like the fit on me. I don't love the funny sleeve slits so I didn't do them this time.

Fabric Used:crushed panel

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:I used the v-neck from the sewing with knits class on craftsy and lengthened the sleeves to be the length of a tnt sleeve.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?I probably will sew it again at some point and would recommend.

Conclusion: I think I'm pleased with this one. Feel free to check out my blog post for more details.Click Here
