New Look 6000…A Review
Pattern Sizing:
4-16
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? VERY easy. The pleats on the side confused me for a few minutes but once I walked away and came back they made plenty of sense lol.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I fell in love with this style pattern a few months back and I'm just not getting around to making it. I've made a LOT of garments this year and this HAS to be my favorite.
Fabric Used: RPL Tropical Wool from Gorgeous Fabrics. I THINK it's very similar to THIS. The actual name of mine was " All you need is RPL-Black" I purchased this is 2010 lol.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? As much as I love this dress I don't think I'm going to make it again. This LBD will last me a VERY long time. I highly recommend it though.
Conclusion: I can't say enough about this pattern. I LOVE it. If you like this style HURRY and grab it.
Side Detail
Collar
Cuff
A closeup of the buttons. I think I spent more on the buttons than I did on the fabric lol
I even broke out my fur jacket lol. It was cold enough lol
See y'all tomorrow with another review lol

The buttons were worth it. You look gorgeous in that dress. Did you have to do a FBA. It fits wonderfully. I loved this pattern but passed it up because all my daughters are chesty. But it looks great.
