Coffee Date Dress Pattern Description
Women's sleeveless, knee length fitted dress. Which view and size did you make?
I ended up changing it up a lot...size 40 Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
No If not, why?
In spite of many great reviews, I had a terrible time getting the bodice to fit properly. The darts IMHO ended way too high on the bust. I ended up altering it a lot to fit properly. I also ended up making a lot of style changes. Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes If not, why?
I used Grosgrains site for a lot of it. I'm not sure the pattern came with instructions. What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like the idea, but at least for me, I didn't care for the fit of the bodice. Fabric used
cotton sateen with a little lycra Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
Make sure you make a muslin of the bodice first! Would you sew this pattern again?
No Would you recommend this pattern to others?
