Finally something for me………Vogue 1224, Tracy Reese beautiful dress pattern. Really nice for the warm weather we are having now and combine with a good sandal you are good to hit town. For work, I belted it and truly love the effect. Good pattern to jumpstart the sewjo…..

Here is my review;

Fabric:Matte jersey I got few months ago

Pattern Description: Partially lined, pullover dress has short dolman sleeves elastic waistline and neckline with tie ends, stiched hems and above mid-knee length. Purchased stoppers for tie end

Pattern Sizing: BB, 8-14. I cut 14 and added 1″ to both sides of the hip
 
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?: Pretty much, but mine is a  bit longer
 
Were the instructions easy to follow: Super easy , didn’t use it for most part
 
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made: Here are few alterations I did
(a) Lengthened the bodice by 2.5″
(b)Lengthened the skirt by 3.5″
(c)Used the seam allowances of the bodice & skirt to make the casing for the waist.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?Nothing to dislaike , a simple and beautiful dress, and a staple for summer, very easy to make as well, with all the alterations I did, it took me roughly 3 hours to finish
 
Would you recommend it to others? ….Highly recommend if you are into this type of style. The pattern runs short though, I guess that’s the intent, but I lengthened mine enough to be appropriate for work.
I might sew it again, because am presently on fabric diet so another one will be a good stash buster…..
