Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes!
Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? This was a pretty straightforward pattern and very easy and likeable. The only complaints with the pattern have to do with my personal aversion to hand sewing - you have to slipstitch the yoke facing into place. Also, I slimmed down the bodice of the dress as its REALLY wide. I know there are a lot of wide babies out there, but not this wide!
Fabric Used: I used a quilting fabric designed by Heather Bailey.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Slimmed down the bodice.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I might sew it again because its very cute and worth the slipstitching. (I'm still waiting for a sewing machine that does slipstiching)
Conclusion: Great pattern, great dress, lots of handsewing and its important to slim down the bodice.
