Time to Sew:
About 4 hours
Sewing Ease (scale 1 easy to 10 difficult):
4, it would've been less but the instructions for dress B were a bit confusing.
Pattern Description:
Mock wrap dress
Pattern Sizing:
10 for the bodice and graded to a 12 for the waist and below.
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?
For view B, not particularly. There were only instructions for view A. Only one side of the overlay would show so it needed to be finished. If you did both like in view A---as I did--- that would be a waste of time. I should've went with my gut and just put it together sans the instructions. But like a moth to a flame I so get suckered into reading them for the easy stuff LOL!!!
What did you particularly like or dislike about the
pattern?
It's a wrap dress. Everyone loves those!
Fabric Used:
A teal matte jersey with neat designs
Pattern alterations or any design changes you
made:
1. Added 3" in length
2. Made the sleeves
3. Stabilized the shoulder seam and neckline with clear elastic (I can't stand a lose neckline on a knit).
4. Used serger and coverstitch machines to construct and finish.
5. I coverstitched the neck edge, side overlay, and skirt hem in black so it would especially be visible.
What would you do differently next time?:
Not follow the directions and sew the panels the way I want, one side unfinished.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to
others?
Possibly. It's a quick knit dress.
Wardrobe Versatility:
Can be worn with tights, leggings, a cardigan or cute jacket.

ReplyDeleteWow, that looks so great as a wrap dress! I have that fabric too; however, I used it to test a new skirt pattern. I so want to post it on my blog but the company has not released the pattern yet. : ( Good to see it here.
