There's not a lot of info in this review due to the nature of my dress being self drafted. More information and views of the dress can be found on my blog.

Pattern Description:

Close-fitting dress a la the Kardashian line. Or technically more of a Bebe style.

Pattern Sizing:

Self drafted. Made to my own measurements.

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

It was similar to a RTW dress I saw last April/May. Mine is a knockoff of that dress.

Were the instructions easy to follow?

N/A

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

It's my own. There is nothing I dislike about it. I put all my likes into it.

Fabric Used:

Red stretch lace underlined with a nude stretch lining purchased from Spandex House last May during PR NYC.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:

N/A

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

You bet I will! And I intend to post full instructions on how I created the pattern after testing it out a few more times.

Conclusion:

I wanted a RTW dress and didn't want to pay the money for it. Thus a knockoff was in order in a fit and style I deemed better than the RTW version.

It's a gorgeous 'proof' dress on you! Fits you like a glove. Great job in drafting. Can't wait to see the next ones you'll sew up.
