This dress was fairly easy to make. I wish I could do reviews on patterns. This pattern was great because I am a visual learner and it had many sketches for each step. The only thing I didn't like about the pattern is that when I measured my daughter to cut out the dress there was no way it was going to fit her and I went exactly by their measurements. I didn't have enough fabric to just start over so I ended up putting panels in both the sides to make it bigger around. This dress is probably one of my better dresses I have made to this point. It called for pin tucking at the bottom of the dress. It was the first time I have attempted that. I used a cute loopy stitch that was on my machine. I'm not quite sure it looks exactly straight even though I measured all the way around but it could just be my eyes or a combination of that and the pattern of the fabric. My pin tucks ended up going up instead of down just because of the stitch I used but that was ok with me because I thought it looked cute. Overall I am happy with the design of the dress and I LOVE the fabric I used. I made notes on my pattern for next time so I won't have to add panels. I won't be going off of their measurements for the main tube part next time. I love this pattern because it is used for many different sizes and goes from size 2 to a size 12 in girls. I will be using this again. I can't wait for her to wear it.
