Things I would change about this pattern:
1. I would definitely not attach interfacing to the ties at the bustline. The interfacing made the ties way too stiff and as you can see, they don’t drape very nicely
2. Ignore the measurements on the pattern envelope. This pattern runs about a size too big. There is nothing more annoying than cutting out an entire pattern based on your true measurements and the pattern specifications and then stitching up the pattern to find that it is huge.
I like this dress – now that it’s getting hot again in Ventura County maybe I should try it out. The green print is really pretty!
