Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow?

Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

This is a cute "grown up" tunic/dress that can be made in a variety of fabrics to change the look. I've made it in plain cotton knits as well as fancy glitter sweater knit

Fabric used

This time, glitter sweater knit

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend

I added a tiny bit of length (traced a 140 for length) to make sure she could wear it as a dress with tights if she wanted to as well as with leggings or skinny jeans. If I make it in sweater knit again I would take the sides in a bit, I think this looks a little baggy on her.

Would you sew this pattern again?

Yes

Would you recommend this pattern to others?

Yes

Any additional comments

She likes how this is a dress that doesn't look baby-ish or too fancy. This can easily be worn to school, but also to a nicer event.
