Pattern Description: Dress (I still need to finish the hem)

Pattern Sizing: I cut a size 6

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? yeah

Were the instructions easy to follow? yeah they were fine, i didn't really use them but i did look at them before starting.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? well let's see, I like the dress itself, how it looks, fits etc. but there are a few things to keep in mind when making this one up. It says to use a heavier knit so I did, I used a lightweight double knit, however, because of the pleating at the neck it causes a bit of thickness so when you add the facing it will not stay inside because it just too thick so this is what I did, I used a binding method instead of the facing cuz I hate facings anyway. The double knit may have been bit to thick so keep that in mind.

I also like that the darts in the back are taken all the way down to the hem. I also HATE when such a smooth lined dress has a zipper in the back so instead i put it on the side just under the arm. I normally would not use a zipper but the DK does not have that much stretch so it just makes it easier to put on.

Fabric Used: Double Knit

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Just the few I mentioned above

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? not sure about making it again but I like it.
