Pattern Name/Number

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?

No
