 Simplicity 2865

Pattern Description: Womens knit dresses.

Pattern Sizing: 12-20 I cut the 14

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? Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved the racer back.

Fabric Used: Cotton Interlock

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I shortened it by 5 inches. It was way too long and made me look frumpy. I shorted it to right above my knee. I also didn't like the curved hem and made a straight hem instead. 

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I doubt if I sew this one again but I do recommend it.

Conclusion: Great, comfy dress.
