Pattern Description:
Misses' dress with cap sleeve variations, bodice variations including flounce drape and ruffle detail. Back zipper.

Pattern Sizing:
8-18

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes, I think it looks better.

Were the instructions easy to follow?
Very easy to follow.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love the overall fit of the garment but I hate the back zipper. It's too high to reach. I lowered the back neck line so I could reach it.

Fabric Used:
100% Silk Satin

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I lowered the back neckline about 2 inches to allow for what seemed to be like too much fabric in the back and also the zipper was too hard to reach.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I probably would sew it again. It was relatively easy.

Conclusion:
I lined this dress as the fabric was too nice not to. I had to figure out how to assemble from experience. It's a shame the pattern doesn't include lining. The back neck is too high. Other than that, it is a gorgeous pattern. I loved sewing it.

Such a great dress! I like the ruffle attached to the skirt, and the skinny black belt is a great touch. Love the black & white photos on your blog. P.S., you are so buff, I admire your arms :)
