Pattern Description: Close-fitting, boned, lined, straight dress, below mid-knee or evening-length, has pleated left side and right side zipper/slit.
Pattern Sizing: 14-16 I made 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? They were VERY easy!!!
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I loved how the foundation piece was constructed. I've worked with boning before but it was done in the seams. This was sewn directly to the interfaced lining.
Fabric Used: Silk Dupoini
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I HIGHLY recommend this dress if you like this style. I wanted something other than just a plain strapless dress. The side pleats attracted me to it. I will need to get another picture in this dress and take some detail shots. I really, really love it.
Here is a picture of the pleats:

You look elegant in this photo. I have never worked with silk dupioni, but it seems like the perfect fabric for this pattern! And where did you find all the time to sew all these items?
