I’m not fast at sewing. My desire is greater than my time or speed. I haven’t even purchased fabric for this yet.

Violette Field Threads Kennedy Dress Review

Kennedy

I love the style of the pattern but didn’t like the instructions. I found them confusing even though I’m a experienced sewer. This was my first online pattern experience. I may try another but first I’ll see how my granddaughter likes her birthday dress.

Stunning!

I just love the Kennedy dress and so does everyone who sees my daughter in the one I made. Especially the back detail! The pattern was so easy to follow and the pictures along with them were amazing! Iv just ordered three more patterns 😍

Cute

The dress is darling but the pattern itself needs work. The pattern pieces did not match up. I printed them out on 2 different computers to see if something was wrong on my end. They were a mess. Finally I just made the pattern up myself. Also, there are too many steps making it more teidious then it needs to be.

So beautiful!

I used the Kennedy with knit fabric and it was a perfect fit. I absolutely love it and it's such a head turner!

Review of Kennedy Dress

I found the template for the box pleats didn't match the size of the skirt pieces so it took me ages to evenly space them. As a result I didn't particularly enjoy making this Dress (as with others I've made); however, the Dress itself turned out well in the end.

Kennedy

The Kennedy dress is such a beautiful and different pattern. I would describe the dress as a modern vintage look. I love the full twirly pleated skirt. The crisscross bodice sets it apart from most dresses. I do have to have the picture tutorial in from of me when putting the bodice together. It is not instinctive to me but the result is well worth the effort.

Fast sew with stunning results!

This is my second Violet field pattern and it came out beautiful! While the top is slightly tricky the photos and instructions made it so it only took me a little bit to solve the riddle. The dress is actually a very quick sew and I did it with a sew along on Facebook. I highly recommend this pattern!

Your patterns and especially your sewing directions are very easy to follow and understand. I have been sewing for over 45 years, your photos are right on point!

Easy but so pretty

I made the Kennedy with a simple gathered skirt. It was easier to make than I expected, and I love the result.

Problem with sizes

My daughter is 8, but other Violette Fields patterns have proved too big for her in 8. So this time I referred to the measurement chart before choosing what size to cut, and went for 7 for the top part and 6 for the bottom. The dress ended up to be way too small at the waist. Besides, the cut around the armpits in the front is a bit low in my opinion. I find the edge of the fabric is too close to the ******. My daughter felt a bit embarrassed too. What she really loved though was the pleat. They truest give a gorgeous look to the whole.

Kennedy

Excellent. Pattern is easy to tape together. It did require a lot of paper in the printer and used a lot of colored ink but still less expensive than buying a printed pattern.
