I am in love with this dress! My Blog

Pattern Description: An infinity dress aka loose fitting sleeveless dress with long waist ties for a dramatic belt.

Pattern Sizing: Large, XL, XXL and I made the Large

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes and no, because I made a few changes.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Super easy to follow!

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love that this is fast and easy to make, and it is fun and easy to wear. It really flatters my pear shaped figure!

Fabric Used: charcoal grey cotton/spandex jersey from Jo-Anns

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I raised the front and back neckline so I wouldn't feel as exposed as the pattern model looks. I also did neckline and armhole facings rather than a turn-n-stitch finish to strengthen those areas.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes, Yes, YES! It is so easy and beautiful that I want one more and so does my friend!

Conclusion: This is a great pattern that really works hard to make me look beautiful and feel comfortable. I didn't have to adjust, pull, or yank on anything to keep the dress looking great while chasing my toddler around.

Buy this pattern for $14.21  List Price: $18.95   Add to Bag Add to Bag
