Gwen Top & Dress

{digital pdf sewing pattern}
Gwen is classic summer style! The Gwen dress and top can feature either a sweetheart or straight bodice. Both versions button up the front, however the back elastic casing allows for the use of either real buttons and buttonholes or stationary buttons. The straps also have two options; fixed or tie back.
The skirt is full and can be sewn in three lengths: top length, knee length or midi length. Rectangle pockets polish off this look!

Modern classic
Thank you for another stunning pattern and for helping build my confidence. I was so daunted by playlets, but this pattern made it easy!

Gwen plus seersucker
This pattern was super easy to sew so I made 4 of them. All in seersucker for the win.

Amazing
This pattern was am incredibly quick sew and beginner easy to follow. I got so many compliments from the dress I made. I'll be making many more in the future!
Used for Dorothy costume
I used this pattern with blue gingham, and it made the sweetest Dorothy costume for my 6 year old (and we’ll get a lot of wear out of it next summer, too, I’m sure). The pattern was so simple to use. I’ve already ordered another for a holiday dress!
Gwen review
Love love love it. I have made both the top and dress and they are darling. Thanks again ladies for hitting it out of the park with another adorable pattern.
Beautiful pattern, sizing not quite right.
This was a gorgeous, fun and easy pattern; however, the sizing is really off. I measured my daughter three times and followed the instructions to a T. The bodice ended up too small and the straps too short. Luckily, I had just enough of my custom printed fabric to cut another bodice and straps, sizing up two extra sizes in both the bodice and straps, but keeping the original skirt. In the end, the bodice was a tad large and straps a smidge long. It would be great if they adjusted the sizing chart. Until then, size up ONE SIZE in the bodice and straps. Skirt was just fine!
Gwen’s Dress
This dress did require some tweaking to make it fit my girls. I found it pretty small. And the straps to be a bit long. But I sized up in the bodice and took out some in the length of the straps and it fits perfectly. I absolutely love this dress!!! I would have given it 5 stars if it were not for the sizing issues.

Loved this pattern.
Love it!!
I love this in top version and dress so much!! I would actually really love this in a mommy size if possible!:)
Perfect, Just as I have come to expect from Violet Field Threads :)
I always enjoy making any pattern I have purchased from you all. Your patterns are always so precise and easy to understand. Thank you!
I need help with attaching the skirt to the elastic back
I love the pattern however I had trouble attaching the skirt to the elastic back. Are there any markings I can make to keep the gathering and stretching gathering evenly on the long piece in the back of the skirt.
United StatesNice pattern
Just disappointed there’s no AO file at least so I can have it printed. It’s just sitting on my hard drive.

Granddaughter Loved the dress, will definitely make another
United KingdomConfused
I bought this with great expectations, but I made the size 3 and couldn’t get the bodice over my daughter’s head. I’m an experienced seamstress, so I’m not suite sure what went wrong, but for the work that I put into it, I didn’t feel like trying again.
Lovely little dress/top
Very easy pattern to follow. so far I have only made a size 2 top, but it is so cute I will be making more.

Gwen review
Great. Easy to use, lovely clear instructions... step by step with photos.
Super sweer
Wonderful design, made the top version for summer and it is so sweet! Can't wait to make more!!!
Gwen dress
Made this for my 4 year old granddaughter. She loves dresses and this fit her beautifully. The construction was easy and directions clear. The only thing I altered was the size of the pockets. I felt they were a little oversized for the garment. Will definitely make this again.
