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?Yes, though I only looked at them for the cowl information.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?No dislikes, except the usage of a zip.
Fabric Used:A slinky knit
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I lengthened the sleeves, omitted the zip and after the first fitting, realized I could have cut it on a size 8 with room to spare. I also stabilized the waist with black Seams Great I had in my stash. I also added 1.5 inches to the hem.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?Yes &yes.
Conclusion: Easy to sew, takes a couple of hours.
