Great pattern

It was fun using the pattern for my grandkids. The fit was good, user friendly and able to put some of my own tweaks without messing up the fit.

Super easy sew!

Reese was a super quick and easy sew. I have made a dress and top in woven and a dress in knit. My daughter has gotten so many compliments. The instructions for the zipper is so clear that I had no trouble putting it in. It was my first one. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful Dress but Imperfect Instruction

The design of the dress is lovely. I made it in a rayon which had a lovely drape. Unfortunately, it was difficult to make true to the child's size because she lives 2000 miles away and the pattern does not include sleeve length or bodice length on the finished measurements. It does not even include length of garment from neck to hem. The instructions were not well illustrated and the verbage was difficult to follow. The short flutter sleeve construction required a trip to youtube. The dress was lovely but did not fit.

Awesome!

Wonderful experience! As a new sewer the pattern was easy to read and was not overwhelming at all! The dress is beautiful! Highly recommend! If you choose to do an invisible zipper don’t follow the pattern at the point and just look up different instructions.

Perfect Tween Dress/Top!

Darling in woven, and can easily be modified for knit by omitting the zipper and trimming .5" off the back piece and cutting on the fold. My girls love this pattern, I keep making more!

Easy and pretty sew!

I used a silky material I had in my stash for ages and loved the results with this classic pattern. I even tried (first time ever) the rolling/burrito method for the short sleeves and loved the results! This is such an easy and quick sew with a very pretty dress when you're done.

Lovely

I enjoyed this sew- I do wish the instructions for the sleeve were a little more clear. My sleeve had trim added and it did not taper off into the seam allowance correctly but the instructions didn’t state that it should.

Good pattern, my grand girls looked so cute!

Most of the instructions were clear and concise. The only part I think could be written better is #18. If you are new to sewing, the way it is written is a little confusing. My experience was still good and I have already bought another pattern from you.
