I really like this dress. I needed to do a FBA but other than that the dress went together really nicely. I used a contrast pattern for the turn backs on the cuff and the collar with a little piping on the shoulder seam and I’m pleased with it. I made this in a 14 whale corduroy and the fabric was a little stiff for the skirt to hang well so I straightened the skirt at the side seams which suited me much better. I think in a lighter weight fabric I’d leave it wider.
The written instructions are sparse so you’d need some experience before attempting this dress. Having said that, I didn’t follow the link to the video so there may well be more detailed instructions there.
Overall very happy

How Do I Know What Size I Am?
Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.
When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:
A. Shoulder Breadth
Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.
B. Upper Arm Girth
This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.
C. Bust
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.
D. Waist
This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.
E. Hip
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
