Pattern Description:
Girls dress pattern from New Look Project Runway
Pattern Sizing:
Comes in children's sizes 3-8. I cut mine in a size 3 according to my two yr olds measurements. Fits her perfectly
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?
I think they were pretty easy. This was my first commercial pattern. I did have to look up some terms but that is due to my own inexperience.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love the neckline and hemline. I wish it called for an invisible zipper. I went ahead and installed an invisible zip but this was my first time installing any kind of zipper. It worked out.
Fabric Used:
Seersucker for the main and white cotton for the contrasting.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
The only thing I did differently was use an invisible zip. I don't think this was too drastic of a deviation from the instructions, though.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I will be making this dress again and I do recommend it to others

It's cute but it looks like it has some difficult parts. You did a great job sewing for this charming child.

cute and fits through the shoulders really well. a lot of little girl patterns are too wide in the shoulders and tend to fall off but this looks like it will stay put.
