Violette Field Threads Ruthie Top & Dress Review

Simple and Sweet

This is a simple dress that looks really cute when finished. It doesn’t require many pattern pieces because most pieces can be measured and cut without a paper pattern. I did a sheer overlay and added one ruffle to the bottom of the simple dress - very cute! Looking forward to my girls wearing their dresses on Easter!

Completely adorable!

This dress is even cuter than I thought it would be. I struggled a little with the band for the bodice, but in the end it turned out! And my 4 year old loves it!

Adorable and surprisingly fast!

I made the "plain" gathered dress with tie straps version, and I was very pleased with how this pattern came out. If you're using a directional print for the binding there's some mental gymnastics involved in making the print upright in the front, and I definitely had to rehearse the steps used to close the binding/cover the gathers a few times before I got what the instructions were getting at. But overall, this was a pretty straightforward, quick make and I was extremely pleased with the results!

Granddaughters loved the tops and dresses

Four granddaughters loved the summery tops and dresses. Made two simple tops of cotton lawn and three dresses, one simple dress and two tiered dresses. I think the older girls loved the tiered dresses the most. First time I have made a tiered dress and am looking to make more.

Allie blouse

I am just about to sew today and reading through the instructions I see that I don't have a necktie. I feel like that should be in the pattern pieces as I don't know how long or wide it needs to be. If someone could email me measurements regarding the necktie that would be wonderful. Other than this little problem, The instructions seem easy enough to follow.

Beautiful dress

Being extremely new to sewing I was able to successfully complete two of these dresses. Took a little longer for me, but I’m sure once I have more experience it will be much easier. Definitely a good pattern for a beginner.

I love this pattern!

It took a bit of time, but I managed to make several tops. My daughter loves her new tops very much.
