Pattern Description: Mock-wrap style dress for girls.

Pattern Sizing:girls 8-16

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, the directions did not go in the order that I would have written them. Both ways would work, but I don't like working harder than needed.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?Great preteen pattern for girls. My daughter is 9 years old and I am trying to transition from little girls to preteen fashions. This is a good bridge builder.

Fabric Used:Timeless Treasures pink and white geometric corduroy print.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:I didn't change the pattern pieces, but changed the order of construction. I dislike adding elastic to the waist before the skirt is added. My daughter is thin and so I really use elastic to make it fit. I completely finished the dress and then added the elastic at the waist.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?I might make another, but will wait for a little while. This is a great pattern for those geometric prints that you can't figure out what to do with them.

Conclusion: Great fitting dress! Very wearable!
