I was very happy with the way this dress turned out. It was very easy for me to sew and came together pretty quickly.
I really like the detail on the front. I’ve never really been into fashion or wearing trendy clothes, but now that I can sew my own clothes, I’ve starting to pay attention to these things without meaning to. I’ve been seeing this gathered, twisty thing a lot recently and was happy to have a chance to do it myself.
I almost didn’t put a zipper in the dress. Honestly, I don’t need it to get the dress on; the neck hole is huge and the dress is super stretchy. But when I finished the dress without a zipper, it just looked dumpy in the back, so I put one in.
Here is my pattern review.






Nice! Great close up picture of you by the way.
