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?
