Pattern Description: Misses' day to evening dresses in two lengths with bodice and sleeve variations sewing pattern
Pattern Sizing: 6-14
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, but with no sleeves.
Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions were great, the side pleating looks really weird even when you folllow the directions on the tissue. Looking at the directions helped especially with this step.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Classic, great dress for work.
Fabric Used: Project Runway cotton sateen from Joanns. This fabric is an awesome weight and feels nicer than other sateens that I've worked with. I lined the dress with non-stretch cotton because the sateen has some stretch to it.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I left off sleeves and bound the armholes with bias tape.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I would possibly make this again because it's such a timeless shape. For now, on to other projects!
Conclusion: I adore this dress, and I'm sure that I will get a lot of wear from it both at work and for social occasions.
