Pattern Description:
Misses' dress with bodice and sleeve variations sewing pattern. I sewed the pleated bodice and the (almost) full length sleeves.
Pattern Sizing:
12 - 20
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Mostly, apart from the optional waist drape which looked awful in my thick fabric so I disgarded it
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I loved the way the pleats at the front interlock rather than just overlapping, and the cuff pleat detail on the long sleeves.
Fabric Used:
A thicker than average knit fabric.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
As mentioned, I had trouble with the front draping section and decided to disgard it rather than struggle to make it work. As usual when I ,ake my size according to the chart, it came out too big but this was easily resolved by taking in the side seams before setting in th sleeves.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I already have blue T-shirt weight jersey put aside for a short sleeved vesion. It took me around 5 hours to complete so not a difficult pattern.
Conclusion:
Great pattern with nice variations, I'll definately be using this one again.
