Pattern Description: Pullover dress has loose-fitting, blouson bodice variations, elasticized (seamed) waist, side pockets and narrow hem. Wrong side shows on back hemline. A: mock wrap, front pleated bodice, and two-piece sleeves. Note: no provisions provided for above waist adjustment. B: elasticized upper back.

I made view A top with view B bottom.

Pattern Sizing: XS-Medium

I made the Medium and it's still big on me.

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? I glanced over them. Pretty standard.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved the style of this dress.


Fabric Used: Mystery fabric from my stash. Some type of poly blend.


Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will make this again. This is a great pattern and I highly recommend it.

Conclusion: Great easy pattern. Pick it up if you like this style dress.
Buy this pattern for $16.88  List Price: $22.50   Add to Bag Add to Bag
