I told y'all this was gonna be a review week lol. I was SO not kidding lol
Pattern Description: Misses' retro style dress with front, sleeve and neck variations. I made view C
Pattern Sizing:
4-16
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. The pleats on the side confused me for a few minutes but once I walked away and came back they made plenty of sense lol.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I fell in love with this style pattern a few months back and I'm just not getting around to making it. I've made a LOT of garments this year and this HAS to be my favorite.
Fabric Used: RPL Tropical Wool from Gorgeous Fabrics. I THINK it's very similar to THIS. The actual name of mine was " All you need is RPL-Black" I purchased this is 2010 lol.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? As much as I love this dress I don't think I'm going to make it again. This LBD will last me a VERY long time. I highly recommend it though.
Conclusion: I can't say enough about this pattern. I LOVE it. If you like this style HURRY and grab it.

The buttons were worth it. You look gorgeous in that dress. Did you have to do a FBA. It fits wonderfully. I loved this pattern but passed it up because all my daughters are chesty. But it looks great.
