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. I just used them for the collar construction.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the retro feel to this pattern.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the retro feel to this pattern.
Fabric Used: Very lightweight stretch denim.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? This is a GREAT basic sheath dress pattern. I will use it again if I need a BASIC sheath dress, but I won't sew this view again. I highly recommend it if you like this style.
Conclusion: Great pattern. I couldn't get my tie to tie like the pattern envelope but I still love it!
Here is a couple additional pictures:

This dress looks fabulous on you. The fit is great. I can’t believe you didnt have to adjust the pattern. You are a perfect size for a pattern. I always have to grade it out for my hips. LOL. I like reading your blog. It’s so inspiring to sew other brown sewers out there.

I love your dress and the purse and shoes are sheer perfection. I think we are kindred spirits. There is nothing better than a great pair of shoes. I buy shoes and then decide what to make to go with them! You do wonderful work. I love seeing the next creation!

That is so nice and cute in denim. Don’t know if I would have thought of using it, but your version makes it a wonderful fabric choice.

What can I say? Homerun as usual. I am jealous though that you don’t have to make any adjustments to your patterns. Darn these baby carrying hips!!! lol
