Pattern Description: Misses' Dress with Knit Midriff
Pattern Sizing: 14-22. I cut a size 22. View B.
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, very easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I liked how easy this pattern came together and I loved the final look.
Fabric Used: I used an African Dutch Wax fabric that was gifted to me by a friend.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't make any alterations or changes. This was actually my wearable muslin since I was making this pattern for the first time. I wanted to be sure of the fit. I didn't have to change anything.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I am already thinking about making this in all knit fabric. I see a collection of these dresses in my future.
Conclusion: I was a little apprehensive about this pattern because of the knit midriff. I thought my stomach was going to look bigger and expose my rolls. (I’m wearing a Firm Control Hi-Waist Thigh Shaper from Catherines underneath the dress). I love the finished look. It turned out better than I envisioned.
