A perfect little dress

I really enjoyed making Harper. It's a very simple pattern, suitable for a beginner or an experienced sewist. Easy to customize, too. My 6 year old granddaughter loves it, especially the pockets! I foresee making several more of these with a variety of fabrics and options.

Really lovely!

I’m quite a newbie, I cut all the pieces out and found it quite easy to follow and made a lovely dress that fitted my daughter perfectly :) There were a few things that didn’t work that great with the material I chose but I think it was as it was triple gauze so for example the placket in the skirt is a little bulky. The instructions are really clear.

Great 50’s style dress

This was such a fun pattern to sew for my 4-year-old granddaughter. The extended shoulder on the bodice forming the cut on sleeve made this a very easy project. With its simple lines, Harper allows for a mall sorts of unique embellishments. I used a railroad stripe fabricand contrasting gingham piping to set off the lines of the dress.

Love the Harper dress

I am working on a dress now for my grand daughter and loving how it is turning out! The pattern is awesome! The only issue I had is my printer's default setting was to shrink it when printing, but once I figured that out all was good. Is there a place where I can post pictures when I'm done?

Beautiful vintage style dress

This pattern is easy to follow and the finished product is so pretty and feminine. I line the sleeve ruffle with the same contrast fabric I use to line the bodice. That way there is no visible hem and the sleeve is much more substantial. Harper is one of my favorite patterns!

A Classic!

This is my new favorite dress pattern! I recently finished it as part of the fab sew-a-long group, and couldn’t be happier with how it looks on my seven-year-old. The lines are simple and the fit is perfect.

Harper

Great! The patterns went together wonderfully, the instructions were very clear, and the photos gave plenty of inspiration for creativity. I bought Harper, Alexandra and Autumn and made two of each for my two grand daughters. All of the garments are really cute! Thank you!!!

Another good product

I have the pattern sitting on top of the fabric at present awaiting instructions from my daughter as to what colour collar to make. I have many VFT patterns and have made them many times. I know you will not be disappointed. They are exactly what my daughter likes and always and interesting sew for me. I love these patterns and will continue to buy them.

Harper dress!

My daughter picked the Harper for me to make for my granddaughter. I’m glad she picked this one. It was very easy to sew and I love the way it looks. Especially when she wears it with her Lulu pinafore.
