I made View A – Little Red Riding Hood. The shirt went together well and looked just like the picture. The skirt went together easily, but is VERY short, so make the bloomers unless you want to show your panties (without bending over). The waist band was a tad tight, which was a bit weird. I had some trouble with the bloomers. I couldn’t figure out the turn-elastic casing-ruffle edge. I just added a bias tape casing with also created the ruffle, but made the bloomers a little tight. The cape with super easy, and is a good reason to buy the pattern. The vest and cape together used 3-1/4 yards, yet the cape didn’t look skimpy. I did have some trouble with the bodice (vest). The instructions weren’t clear and I didn’t have a lot of time to fiddle with it. It came out FAR too big. I had to bring it in 1-1/2 inches on each side and had to bring up the straps and 1 inch. I would have also boned the front, as it kept riding up. Otherwise, a cute pattern.
