Pattern Description:
Girl's/Girl's Plus princess seamed dress with single or double flounce.
Pattern Sizing:
Girls 8-16 1/2
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?
uhmmm, I don't know, I didn't use them.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love how quickly this came together because I had forgotten that I was supposed to make this for DGD's choir performance. All total I think it took four or five hours to make.
Fabric Used:
Duchess satin that was left over from friend Barbie's bridesmaid dresses, that was purchased from BridalFabric.com, and glitter organza purchased at Joann's.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
It is so awesome that I didn't need to make any alterations; however, I increased the length of the facings by 4 inches so that they would stay put.(A trick I learned when I took pattern making at El Centro, thanks Fran!)
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, but I have to do it fast, DGD is growing up!
Conclusion:
The payoff for whipping this out for DGD, priceless. She is always very proud to tell her teachers and friends that Mama Tia made her dress.
