Pattern Description:
Loose-fitting top or dress has front tucks, back button loop closure and stitched hems. A, B: short sleeves with elastic. C, D: sleeveless. Straight-legged pants or shorts has elastic waist, side seam pockets and stitched hems.
I made D, the sleeveless dress
Pattern Sizing:
2,4,5,6.
I made size 4
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?
It's supposed to be very easy according to the picture on the front of the envelope.
However, I found the instructions on the single bias tape use of finishing the neckline and the arm holes to be very brief.
This is OK if you have been sewing for a while, but very confusing for a beginner. The pleats instructions were pretty well-written.
Pleating at the front of the dress.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Very quick pattern, and my daughter really likes how comfy the dress is.
Fabric Used:
Vintage sheets - Cotton-poly blend. Very soft, but not too flimsy to work with.
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
I may have finished the neck and arm holes differently from the instructions. Really, I have no idea what they were trying to say there.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes, I would make this again for sure. My daughters are dress-crazy at the moment, and I'm now confident that I can make this dress in less than an hour (after cutting).
I would recommend it, but only if you've done some sewing before. This is not a beginner's pattern because of the brief instructions in some areas, but so simple, if you have sewn girls' dresses before.
Conclusion:
Cute, comfy dress. Not at all fussy. I like this pattern!
