5031 Pattern Description
Curved bodice dress or top, with or without bow, capris. Which view and size did you make?
Dress, no bow 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?
- What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
Cute curved bodice styling, dress not too full. Fabric used
Embroidered gingham Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend
This pattern runs quite large. Size down until the bodice is the right size and then add length. It has a zipper so needs to fit fairly snugly. It doesn't say to finish the edges of the fabric where the zipper goes prior to insertion, but if you don't go that a woven will ravel. Would you sew this pattern again?
Yes Would you recommend this pattern to others?
Yes Any additional comments
Decent pattern, goes together well, but watch the sizing closely. It seems to run quite large. The photo shows a size 3 on a 4yo DD with 2 inches added length, and I could have used a size 2 bodice even. Did you SNS what you made from this pattern? If so, add a link to your SNS here.
