Pattern Sizing:

Child 6-8

I cut the 6 View C 

 

Were the instructions easy to follow?

Yes they were

 

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

Everything was awesome about the pattern. I did get tripped up on figuring out what was the top/bottom pieces of the overskirt but then figured it out.

 

Fabric Used:

I used 2 colored organza and broadcloth from Joann’s. I loved the glitter fuchsia organza. So I layered it with the broadcloth to make it work.  The silver sequins were from my stash.

 

 

 

 Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?

I would if I had to make another princess costume, sure. I def recommend it to others. I think it’s the best view of the pattern. It could even pass for a Anne Boleyn period dress too.

 

 Conclusion:

Overall this pattern makes for a fast and easy costume.

 

 

Thanks for checking out my review

Happy Sewing!!
