Vogue 8184




Pattern Description:
Dress has fitted bodice with princess seams, back zipper, bodice self-lining with boning and skirt variations. A, B, C: 2" below knee length with slightly flared skirt.

Pattern Sizing:I sewed an 8 but cut wider for the skirt, probably a 10.

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!

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Despite being super easy, the end result was elegant and structured. The boning was fun and different and flatters any figure.

Fabric Used: I used a lightweight cotton from Exquisite Fabrics in DC, I believe it was a men's shirting cotton.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: The only change I made was using an invisible zipper instead of a regular one.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes and Yes! I already have another cotton fabric ready for this pattern again.

Conclusion: Impressive looking dress with low effort!
