A little confusing, but good adaptibility

The instructions tell you how to lengthen the front/back bodice piece (using the armhole template piece as the new bodice). They also have you attach the uncut, gathered skirt to the bodice and then use the armhole template to cut out the bottom of the armscye. This technique makes it easier to match up these pieces. This is the first time I've seen either of these techniques used. I will also mention that this dress has a LOT of gathering and, depending on the type of fabric you are using, you might opt to decrease the design ease and cut a narrower skirt piece that is less gathered.

Fun dress

I really liked being able to have the measurements to cut out the skirt size just using a ruler and rotary cutter and not having to print out anything but the top templates. Thanks for a great free pattern.

London Dress - bodice/armhole needs better instructions

The bodice/armhole instructions are a little unclear. I think the instructions would be easier to follow with more in print. I still cut mine a little to big for the size.

Darling summer dress

Easy to cut the pattern and save for more dresses as the granddaughter grows. Love the straps so it is adjustable. Great suggestions for the beginner sewist such as best way to gather.

Love this little dress and the video tutorial

I have been trying to sew for so long with very little success. I took advantage of the free pattern to see if I could follow it.. some parts I was able to follow but I stumbled on some parts. This was remedied when I found the video tutorial which enabled me to complete the dress. I then decided to try the free Lola pattern but unfortunately I haven’t been able to finish the top because I haven’t been able to follow the pattern .. I suppose I’m just one of those people who learn visually.

London Pattern & Tutorial

I was really excited as I progressed thru the tutorial and sewing the dresses. I haven't sewn clothes for a very long time and this was the best way ever to get patterns and make the dresses. I currently have three great granddaughters and found this to be very enjoyable.

Great Beginner-friendly pattern

I had a very positive sewing experience using this particular pdf pattern. It was easy, required few pattern pieces and came together quickly with stellar results. I've made 12 London dresses to donate to charity, using different quilting cotton fabrics in my stash, and they all have the look of professional, store-bought dresses.
