Pattern Description: Wrap dress with front tucks, front and back pleats, self-ties, and sleeve variations. This time around I made view B whichh on the envelope are three-quarter length sleeves but I made them long sleeves.

Pattern Sizing: Available in 8-24. I cut a 14.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes with the exception of the sleeves.
Were the instructions easy to follow? Very. I just glanced at them this time around and had no problems with construction.
Finished dress
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love how simple yet flattering it is not to mention how quickly it went together. I cut it out and pinned it during the first quarter of the game, took a break during the second quarter, began sewing at halftime and only missed 3 minutes of the third quarter. Can you tell it's football season? I guess in real time it took about 3 hours start to finish.
Fabric Used: A blue matte jersey from denver fabrics described as 'Shades of Blue and White Print on Matte Jersey Fabric' My choice in prints isn't always the best but I really like how this one turned out. You can still see the pleats without them getting lost in the print.

Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: I made the sleeves long sleeve instead of 3/4 but that was it.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Most likely but not before I make a few other things.
Conclusion: The tucks and pleats add some nice touches to an otherwise basic but great wrap dress. Highly recommended.
Bottom Line:
2 yards of fabric @ $4/yd
Total: $8
