There is nothing better than a LBD!

I made this dress to wear to dinner while we were in LA (seems like SO long ago lol) and I didn't get a chance to wear it so I couldn't WAIT to wear it once I got home.
LBDaThe ruching on this is AWESOME!!! This pattern is so old but I already want another dress.
LBD7aRuching hides a multitude of sins lol. This dress can be flattering on so many different body types, but I LOVE the way it flatters me.
LBD6aBlack can be tough to photograph but this one shows really good detail.
LBD5aI wanted to keep this look as classic as possible. I decided on a cluster pearl necklace, red bag that only held my ipad, lipstick and my license lol, and my favorite black lace shoes. I didn't get a close up shot but I found this picture online
Eb07bb1a15e4978d5298d9871207a384They are super old but I still love them.
 
 For those of you who sew here is a review:
 
Pattern Description: Close fitting dress with side zipper.

Pattern Sizing: 14-20

I cut the 14 and it FITS lol. When this says close fitting, it truly means it.

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 didn't follow the instructions but they do look very easy.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved the style of this dress.

Fabric Used: Ponte knit

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't add a zipper. I didn't see a need for it.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? This dress is OOP, if you have it in your collection take it out and sew it up. I highly recommend this and I plan on making another one.

Conclusion: Great dress! I enjoyed making it and wearing it. 

LBD
