PR: The Mission Maxi

I have seen this pattern made up several times and I had to have it!! I am really into the fall maxi look so this is perfect. This is my first time using a Jamie Christina Pattern and I must say, I am a fan!



Pattern Description: Maxi Dresses w/ Options

Pattern Sizing: I cut the size 2

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 did not use them, I did read them for the sake of the review and they are really nicely illustrated and easy to follow.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the fit! I did not have to alter a thing and the size 2 is exactly right!

Fabric Used: I used a jersey knit from Joann in a scarlet red

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I did not fold over the bindings because after I was done with the dress and tried it on I loved the raw edge look on it (serged of course) lol

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes and Yes!!

Conclusion: I will be making this dress a LOT! I am enjoying the fall boots look with the jacket/blazer so this will get me through fall easily and really like the blazer look with my booties.

This is my red jersey version, a little more dressy
