Pattern Description:
Simple dress with self belt

Pattern Sizing:
6-22, I cut a straight 10. This is a baggy dress with a cinched waist so there is room to size up or down as needed.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes I think so, only mine has elephants!

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, I don't think you even need the directions. This is a simple two panel dress with neck and arm binding and a self belt. Pretty simple!

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love this pattern, my favorite part is how comfy it is

Fabric Used:
I used a heavy knit with a quirky elephant print, perfect weight for a winter dress with tights or leggings

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None, there's not much to change on this dress.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, this is my second one. The style is so plain you could really make a million of these and they would all look different. Check out more photos on my blog. Thanks for reading!
