Pattern Description: Misses' Top, Dress, Caftan, Jumpsuit and Pants
Pattern Sizing: XSM- MED
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? I didn't even use the instructions lol
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved the style and how easy it was lol. I'm ALL about the simple stuff right now lol.
Fabric Used: Challis
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I made it shorter than the original version.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I do plan to make it again. It was SUPER easy and really comfy!
Conclusion: Great pattern. Looks WAYYY better than the pattern envelope lol

When I saw that pattern I thought big sack of nothing. It's amazing what a cute little figure and a belt can do for a simple dress.

I would say your review should have stated "NO" for "does it look like the pattern envelope". lol. That's a compliment, of course. Your dress is GORGEOUS. I would never have even thought to give a second look at that pattern and I'm a pattern junkie. You have a better pattern eye than me for sure. lol

Yes that pattern envelope is totally uninspiring, but your version looks great. Good for you for having the vision to see beyond Butterick's awful photos!
