Here is my review;
Fabric:Matte jersey I got few months ago
Pattern Description: Partially lined, pullover dress has short dolman sleeves elastic waistline and neckline with tie ends, stiched hems and above mid-knee length. Purchased stoppers for tie end
Pattern Sizing: BB, 8-14. I cut 14 and added 1" to both sides of the hip
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?: Pretty much, but mine is a bit longer
Were the instructions easy to follow: Super easy , didn't use it for most part
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: Here are few alterations I did
(a) Lengthened the bodice by 2.5"
(b)Lengthened the skirt by 3.5"
(c)Used the seam allowances of the bodice & skirt to make the casing for the waist.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?Nothing to dislaike , a simple and beautiful dress, and a staple for summer, very easy to make as well, with all the alterations I did, it took me roughly 3 hours to finish
Would you recommend it to others? ….Highly recommend if you are into this type of style. The pattern runs short though, I guess that’s the intent, but I lengthened mine enough to be appropriate for work.
I might sew it again, because am presently on fabric diet so another one will be a good stash buster…..
PS:

I have just ordered this pattern as I have loved every version I have seen made up. Yours is no exception - I love it and am so pleased I am getting the pattern. That fabric is gorgeous and just perfect for the dress!
ReplyDeleteTurned out great!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you all for all the wonderful comments. No better mojo buster than you guys....
ReplyDeleteThat looks really nice. I saw the same fabric in Brandon. Does it get static with/without spray, or a slip?
ReplyDeleteThat is really, really cute on you and love the color! Are you going to make something in the navy??
ReplyDeleteThanks Myra, yes I will be making something in the navy, maybe a top or another dress
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dress! That fabric is just perfect for it, too!
ReplyDeleteI really like your version of the dress. You look great in it!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the picture for the pattern in the catalog it just didn't appeal to me- probably because it was so short. I think I will have to try it out now.
Thanks for sharing!
