What I Wore...
I am a huge fan of Zara and their blazers, pants, shoes, everything, lol I picked up my blazer a few weeks ago and love it! The forever 21 jeans are one of my favorites because of the wide bell bottom and I can always find great jeans at F21. I just picked up about 10 different tanks/t's from the GAP, I <3 Gap!
I gotta tell you every time I go to H&M I leave happy, lol they have really great stuff and it's a great place to find trendy items for your wardrobe. The denim jacket I have on is from American Eagle which is another place I frequent for great jeans and tops!

Fabric Info
Many of you have asked where to find a print similar to the one I used in the pic above and my dear friend @ High End Fabrics just sent me several yards of this fabric which is pretty close (color wise) to my original print, it is gorgeous in person and has such a great hand; it is a Tencel Gabardine Woven Fabric. Here is his link ;-)
Also, if you are ever looking for the best most fabulous fabrics make sure to visit www.gorgeousfabrics.com they carry an amazing assortment of fabrics and great prints/knits too. I can personally vouch for the quality and beauty of their fabrics.
Remember when I said I went fabric shopping? LOL here is my haul ;-)
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? This is a really easy pattern and really good for a beginner who wants to try a Vogue pattern.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Well, I think I am the last person to try this pattern, lol I have had it on my "to-sew" list for a while and I finally got around to sewing it. I really love this dress because I like when patterns have surprise construction details that you don't see in the picture. I like the dart at the shoulders and that the skirt wraps from to back with o side seams, clever.
Fabric Used: Lime Green DK
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I sewed it without making adjustments but when I tried it on it was big on the sides and I didn't like the loose look so I had to take it in a good 1.5" on both sides!
Would you sew it again? I might make it again in black just so I can have an easy to wear black dress in my closet.
