Pattern Description:
Dress or romper. I made the dress--view B with pockets.
Pattern Sizing:
I cut the size 12 for the bodice and increased to a 14 at the waist and skirt.

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?
Very much so!
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love the buttoned front and skirt with pockets.
Fabric Used:
Cotton twill in a bright marigold color!!! I LOVE the color!
(This is a better representation of the dress color. It's really a rich yellow color not a pale yellow. We really need to learn how to use our camera)
(Here's a lighter picture so you can see the dress details)
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
* I reduced the front and back bodice length 2"
* I think I added 2 to 3" to the length (it still ended up being a bit short)
* I added pockets with buttons
(A pop of color. Love the electric blue earring & bracelet)
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I have so many others I need to sew but I'm happy I got the bright yellow dress I've been wanting for some time:)
Great stylish little dress:)
Simply Gorgeous. Your skin colour and that sunny yellow are a match made in heaven!! Love the racer back style and the look of the waist tie :)
ReplyDeleteGreat job, and you look wonderful in that yellow Victoria!
ReplyDeleteGreat color on you Victoria. Love the style, gotta add this pattern to my list...Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! Great job on color, style, and fit~ looks great on you!

ReplyDeleteCute, casual dress! The yellow colour really suits you.
ReplyDeleteThat's really nice Victoria! I love the color on you too, it really makes you complexion glow! Your description of this dress os so correct...it is feminine, fun and flirty!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing on you- I love that colour but I can't wear it but looks sensational on you. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteCute as can be, pockets are always good to have!
ReplyDeleteAdorable summer dress on you. Love the color, too.
ReplyDeletelooks fantastic on you, and seems like a pattern that could work as a beach cover up or other casual style as well.
ReplyDeleteThis color looks fabulous on you! Such a great casual dress for the summer. :}
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria!
ReplyDeleteIm bowled over by your version of this dress. It is simply lovely. I didn't give this pattern a second look but you've now inspired a must-have!
Keep insipiring!
Luv, Su
The dress looks fantastic on you and agree with the others, yellow looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteAWESOME dress...the color is FIESTA!!!
ReplyDeleteYellow looks fabulous on you--definitely one of your best colors. That dress is sort of--a fresh, new take on the shirt dress. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely your color! It's a great, fun, casual dress.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out super cute! Good choice of shortening the bodice. Mine was in a really drapey fabric, so I got away with it. The twill would've caused some unnecessary poofiness at the sides. I love how you accessorized with blue!
ReplyDeleteYou look great Victoria, and the color is just vibrant on you!
ReplyDeleteI love all the pretty summer dresses you have sewn. You look great in them! They are inspiring me to get out my own copy of Butterick 5638 and make a brightly colored, easy to wear, summer dress of my own.
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty in yellow! This dress is a great dress on you!
ReplyDeleteThis dress is wicked cute! Great color choice for the pattern and it looks fabulous on you!
ReplyDeleteYellow is your color. Looking good and cool.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, this is the perfect summer dress! So cute!
