Pattern Description: Pullover dress has front and back neck casings; dress A has contrasting tie that extends from left front and left back opening edges of casing, center back slit at upper edge; dresses B, C have shoulder straps extending from casing, upper and lower center back slits; dress B has contrasting shoulder strap and belt.
Pattern Sizing:
I bought the 14-16-18-20 last year when I was pregnant. I decided to still use it since my full bust measures a size 14. Also, there really isn't much form to this dress.
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?
Extremely easy
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I liked that it was easy and fast. I wanted to make a dress for a 4th of July cookout and it took me no time to make it.
Fabric Used:
Red linen for the dress, navy linen for shoulder straps and belt
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I made the shoulder straps narrower. I could see that it would be difficult pulling a wide piece of fabric through the loops.
I could tell it was going to be short, so even though I am petite, I only shortened the torso. I left the hip area as it was.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I would. I might make a swimsuit coverup or a dressier fabric for a dress to go out in.
