First, I love this pattern and all of the options!! I bought as soon as it came out. Mimi made a fantastic version in a double knit and I hadnt even thought of using that fabric for this. I always lean towards jersey knit fabrics because they are super easy to fit!! I bought the animal print because it looked like alot of fun but it’s much more color than I’m used to. I thought the animal print with the super feminine would work out well. It could be a good date night out dress. I had the double knit in my stash for over a year waiting for the right pattern and I decided to use this one. I love this dress and it’s easy to wear. Here is my Review:
<b>Pattern Description: </b>Misses’ dress with sleeve and bodice variations including flattering drape and ruffle detail.
<b>Pattern Sizing:</b>8-18
<b>Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?</b> Yes
<b>Were the instructions easy to follow?</b> The instructions were very easy.
<b>What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?</b> I loved the different options and the drape.
<b>Fabric Used:</b> My first version is double knit from Fabric Mart and the second is ITY Jersey from G Street.
<b>Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:</b> Well I think it runs a little large but it could have been my fabric choices. I had to take them both in quite a bit. I cut the jersey out first and had it ready while I completed another project but actually sewed the double knit for a work related meeting. I will defintely adjust if I sew again. I did have to lengthen both which is normal for me so I generally do this automatically now with anything I sew. I also eliminated the zipper on both because I didnt need it.
<b>Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?</b>Yes I’ll definitely sew again and highly recommend!
<b>Conclusion: </b> Fantastic feminine dress!

LOVE LOVE LOVE both of your dresses. You have done a fantastic job. Fabrics are beautiful too and the frill on the first one is very sweet. Great job.

My favorite is the animal print!!! Those colors ae so ‘in’ ths year, they look rich and I love the way they sort of flow together. The ruffle makes it even dressier…perfect for a date night out!!!
