Pattern Description:
Wrap dress with collar options and different sleeve options
Pattern Sizing: 8-22 I made an 18
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Very much so
Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes, very straightforward
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love a wrap dress and one of the things I like about this is that it covers my chest without exposing any of my undergarments! No need to wear a vest underneath it.
Fabric Used:I used a polyester/spandex knit that I picked up for half price. As soon as I saw the pattern on the fabric, I knew that it would be perfect for the wrap dress.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I did a toile of the bodice which showed that I needed to lengthen the bodice by a couple of inches. I'm really rather "generous" around the tummy area and a wrap tie above this area would only serve to highlight it. It sits perfectly on my waist now.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? As I said, I love a wrap dress and will definitely sew this again. Next time in a knit with a lot more cotton 
Conclusion: I love this dress, I think its flattering and its very comfortable to wear. Oh and the fabric goes great with my favourite shiny red shoes
