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 pattern is VERY well drafted and went together very, very easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? My daughter loved this pattern when it was first released.
Fabric Used: Shantung
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I don't know if my daughter will want this again but I do highly recommend it.
Conclusion: Great little party dress. I highly recommend it if you like this style!

Very cute, she looks absolutely adorable all the way down to her matching toenails!

Oh lovely… I have this pattern too… it’s a great idea as the dress can still be made when the peplum fashion goes out. I am thinking to make this for New Year’s Eve! Merry Christmas and happy NY to you and your family.

Gorgeous dress! The color is so happy and fun (definitely needed this time of year). She looks like she feels gorgeous in it, too!

I love the color and how that peplum waistline gradually flows down! Very cute!
