Pattern Description

Crossfront, empire waist tunic.

Which view and size did you make?

Long Sleeve Tunic/Knee Length Dress

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

Yes

If not, why?

-

Were the instructions easy to follow?

Yes

If not, why?

The English instructions seem to be oddly translated, but they work out ok.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

The smallest size 32/34 is too big for me when this is made in a knit, and the sleeves were too short to put a proper hem on.

The shoulder seams did not seem to fit, and I'm not sure if this was my error or in the pattern. I ended up completing the neckline as in Jalie 2449 instead.

Fabric used

Babyrib

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend

I will take in the side seam for both sleeves & torso if I use a knit in the future.

Would you sew this pattern again?

No

Would you recommend this pattern to others?

Yes

Any additional comments

I will try this in a woven fabric before I make a final verdict, but I'm not convinced it's a great pattern for my shape/size/style.

ETA: I modified this considerably, taking in the side & sleeve seams about 1.5" at the underarm, and tapering out to the existing hems, it's a much better fit now. New photos: http://www.sewingmamas.com/b/showthread.php?t=137586
