Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
very much!
Were the instructions easy to follow?
very clear instructions. I cut this out last night and it was finished in time for her to go out in tonight - without me rushing!
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I really like the mock wrap over bodice
Fabric Used:
brocade from JoAnn's
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:
no alterations were needed, but I did use and invisible zip instead
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
its really cute but I dont think so - but i will definitely keep it in the stash, you never know when i'll need a kimono for Halloween.
Conclusion:
I made this for me sister to where to a dinner with friends and she loves it! I really like the covered buttons and the mandarin collar - so cute. It came together quickly and its the best invisi zip i've dont thus far!
I'm a sewing demon this week! I have two dresses I'm working on for my sister and I for a wedding this weekend and i'm going crazy! It's super easy to fit my sis, so all of the things I make for her just fall into place. My dress on the other hand - HA! The FBA on my dress is killing me, anyone have any ideas?

Oooh, looks awesome! I have this pattern, and now I am even more excited about making it!!
The top looks awesome. I don't think the decorative trim was the worst idea your sister could have come up with. Halloween, come onnnnnn. Perfect for cocktails I think.
