Classic dress

This is one of my favorite girls dress patterns! I love the simple lines and classic shape of a fitted bodice and full skirt. The pleats at the hem of the skirt add visual interest and beauty in a subtle way. I always lengthen the dresses I make for my daughters, and the shape of this dress works well with a long skirt. My second pleat did not turn out correctly when I followed the directions, so I unpicked it and chose a position higher up. The sleeves seem to be longer than 3/4 length, so I cuffed them. I also raised the neckline and added more shoulder coverage. Highly recommend this pattern, with some tweaks.

Honestly, I'm for now in the collecting stage so I haven't yet used this pattern. I'm waiting on a cartridge for my printer so sooner than later. It's a beautiful pattern so I'm really looking forward. I'm glad it's in my stash! I'd give VFT ten stars!

I made it in triplicate for my 3 granddaughters. Each one I made just slightly different from the other. I’ve been sewing since I was 12 and am absolutely loving pdf patterns which actually seem to fit my thinner than average grand kids.

Love the Sutton

I am very happy with the outcome of my Sutton. Directions are mostly easy to follow. The only problem I had was with the sash. I didn’t realize one of the buttons and a buttonhole went right through the sash. It would be helpful if one of the example photos had a sash!

Sutton

I was impressed with the fit of Sutton. The only thing I did differently was enclose the waist seam which took maybe 10 extra minutes but totally worth the time to make the dress look more professional and feel better against my granddaughter’s skin.

Love the options

Sutton is a fabulous dress with a ton of options! It truly can be made for all seasons. My only complaint is that it runs small.

very happy with the pattern

Being a novice in sewing little girl dresses, I found this pattern easy to understand, and was extremely pleased with the result. Next little granddaughter dress will be same concept, but doing up at the back, any thing to avoid having to insert a zipper.

Clear Instructions and Beautiful Design Details

My youngest bestie loves this design.The instructions were very clear and well illustrated. The design details are all so pretty, it was hard to make a decision about which ones to use. Overall, it was a really satisfying project with a super cute result.

Once again a great pattern, I originally purchased it for the August sew-a-long....but my granddaughters birthday was calling for it. She loved, I loved it, easy to follow instructions. Definitely will be making more with the long sleeves for the fall and winter.

Sutton

This turned out so cute. We made this as a top for my granddaughter for first day of 4th grade. We had to alter the waist because the measurement was too small even tho everywyelse she required a 9/10 Tween. It fit perfect and looks so cute
