Pattern Description: Pullover dress has fitted, mock wrap bodice, shoulder ties, elasticized shoulders and raised (seamed) waist, fitted, narrow hem, thread carriers and self belt.

Pattern Sizing:8-24

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Pretty much except I omitted the shoulder ties.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

Like: How this simple style showcases a bold print.

Dislike:The shoulder ties. They were very narrow and difficult to turn and in my case useless.

Fabric Used: ITY Knit

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I omitted the shoulder ties in back. Once they were on I realized that I did not need them. Everything stays in place very well without them.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I probably will not sew it again as one of these is plenty. I would recommend this pattern to others.

Conclusion: I'm happy with how this dress turned out. Please note that it has a deep plunging neckline.

Stunning dress! I have this same fabric, but your use of it will far outshine mine I believe. Wonderful pairing of the pattern and fabric.
