Pattern Description: Kay Unger designer dress

Pattern Sizing: 8-24

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? somewhat - this is just a difficult design with a lot of steps and a not-so-intuitive construction (hence my rating)

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like the design a lot - flattering to my figure.

Fabric Used: poly charmeuse from Joann's

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I skipped the slit at the top - too much cleavage potential - gotta keep my stuff reined in...

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? maybe & yes

Conclusion: I'm pleased with the final result, but this was not an easy dress!

Buy this pattern for $24.00  List Price: $32.00   Add to Bag Add to Bag

Thanks for your review. I just flipped by this one in my file again the other day and always wonder why it doesn't have more reviews. Now I guess I know! Congratulations for tackling a tough design and achieving great results.
