Pattern Description: Lined, pullover dress has single-layer flounce (wrong side shows), fitted, mock wrap bodice with slightly blouson back, front snap, elasticized (seamed) waist, and side pockets. Very narrow hems. B: front overlay. C: Skirt is cut on crosswise grain of fabric. A and C: self belt.
I made view C without the ruffle.
Pattern Sizing: 14-22
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? Very easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Loved everything about it.
Fabric Used: Challis
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I'm not sure about making this one again. Maybe, but there are SOOOO many other patterns I want to make lol.
Conclusion: Great dress. VERY simple. Very well drafted. It has an elastic waist but I still wanted a belt. I don't think it was secure in this pic though lol
Very pretty! I just found your blog and love all the pieces you've made! I've added a lot of patterns to my "to buy" list after seeing your versions. One question - I've found it hard to find apparel fabric locally. I just have a Joann which is fine for some things but not all. Do you have any favorite fabric websites? Or, are you a lucky one that has good shops locally? Thanks so much. Can't wait to see future projects!

You've been a sewing fool girl! Love it.
I think this dress finally did it for me, after all these years of reading your blog...I think I'm going to sign up for sewing classes.

What size? I have the pattern on my cutting table right now, but I have lost so much weight I'm not sure what size to cut out.
