Pattern Description:
Misses' dress: Dress with empire waist has either low square neckline, front and back bodice darts and back zipper closure.

Pattern Sizing:
Multi-sized pattern. 6-10, 8-12, 10-14, 12-16 and 16-20. I made a size 14.

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 instructions were excellent.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
There are no dislikes with this pattern. I'm absolutely thrilled with the fit and the empire waistline. I will mention that the square neckline sits low, I did raise it up a wee bit higher and it still sits low.

Fabric Used:
100% polyester

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I raised the square neckline 1" higher. And I inserted an invisible zipper instead of a regular zipper.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I think the next one will be in a wool and I'll wear it as a jumper. I would absolutely recommend this pattern.
