Nicole Miller Sheath Dress from Nordstrom in Ponte Knit
Pattern Description: Butterick 5147
Pattern Sizing: 8-24
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, but with sleeves.
Were the instructions easy to follow? yes
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I like that the jacket sleeves fit the dress perfectly.
Fabric Used: ITY knit from Fabric Mart
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I removed one inch from the front neckline to remove gaping, removed one inch from the neck to waistline length, added four inches to the hem length, added sleeves using the jacket sleeve pattern, and made front and back facings about four inches deep.
Would you sew it again? Yes, it's my TNT dress that works well to be worn with jackets/cardigans.
