You'll like this pattern if you like the unusual. I left out the walking slit even though the pattern said not to, and I can still walk. Next time I would make the neck opening larger and remember to join the pattern pieces before I cut the fabric...oops.

I did not keep the pattern for this so I don't know the number. It was frustrating, it had so much fabric in the back that I had to add a casing. But I did like that I could coordinate three different fabrics together and the pattern had all the pieces, no need to cut the pattern and add seam allowances.

This is the Tracy Reese pattern for Vogue. Sewing and fitting this dress was easy. The only hard part was the binding on the neckline, it became a little bulky.

Here is the back view. I like the shoes with this dress, but can't walk very well in them.

The Hawaiian fabric has been in my stash for many years, glad to finally have it sewn up.

Loved this pattern, it fits perfectly and balances out a pear shaped figure. Looks good on everyone.
