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? I love anything cowl neck so it grabbed my attention quick lol.
Fabric Used: Lace
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I will sew a different view of this dress again. I highly recommend it.
Conclusion: Great pattern. If you like this style dress go for it.I thought working with lace would be hard, but it was very easy. It's just like any other fabric. I've wanted a lace dress for a while so when I saw this fabric I knew exactly what it was going to become.
Took this one with my camera phone lol. Since I was all neutral, I used an orange clutch I have to provide a pop of color. LOVE this dress and my clutch lol
This fits you so well, you should make it again.

Gorgeous dress! I love it so much I clicked to see which pattern it was so I could order it, and of course it turns out I already own it. Time to start making some of these patterns up!

Love this as much as the green one. Looks so smart on you.

Do you think that I could use a lycra material on the top and wool on the bottom? Do you think it would be too hard to combine the two materials?
