Pattern Description:
From the website: "...it is a classy and elegant piece with a beautiful cowl neck."
Pattern Sizing:
Available in sizes EU 34-48 (US 6-20), but only one size per download. I made the 10 according to the size table. PErfect fit!
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, definitely
Were the instructions easy to follow?
I don't know, I didn't look at them.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I loved the cowl neck, the side pleats and the fact that it's made for knits. That warranted for comfort! Also, the back view has a big pleat instead of darts, making it so much more interesting than other similar patterns.
Fabric Used:
First time round I used some mystery knit I was gifted, the second time I used a turquoise polyester ponte knit.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
None, the pattern fit right "out of the box".
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I did sew it again and am contemplating a third version. Highly recommend! I blogged about it in my first post ever! And also just recently
Conclusion:
I just love this dress and how flattering it is on me. It's super comfy, so I wear it instead of sweatpants at home and for travelling, while still looking good.

I love the waistline detail and the cowl. Looks great on you.

What a polished alternative to the usual loungewear. At first glance I thought this was the similar looking Burda pattern, which so many have had great success with but was a big fail for me. Thanks for the information on this great looking website and free pattern download.

Thanks so much for reviewing this! I loved the design and downloaded it right away, but then never got around to sewing it. Yours is absolutely lovely! And the comments on the fit are very appreciated.

I can see why this is "your" color, it's beautiful! Great dress
