It always seems to be the "Simple" and "Easy" patterns that I dislike the most.
This dress had to be taken in along the side seams quite a bit in order not to look like a sack, even when I cut out the suggested size for my measurements. The neckline turned out way too big because the bodice is cut so the stretch goes vertically, not horizontally. So I had to improvise with a tuck and a bit of elastic.
Overall, I suppose it's a wearable dress, but I wouldn't recommend this pattern.
Front view. The waist can't fit over my dress form's shoulders, so you'll have to excuse the poor hangar photos.
Back view. I centered the design on the back, but absolutely could not find a suitable way to place the front without things "lining up", if you get my drift haha.
Oh the pattern of the fabric is really prone to enhance "certain features"... But the dress looks cute! Even though you had so much trouble with the pattern.
