Only required minor adjustments to shoulder line, bust dart size and placement along with small armhole adjustment. Altered neck and sleeve facing to style more familiar with and ease of application. Post adjustments, the dress has a great line and hangs lovely. Extended skirt length too.

I love the style but found the directions rather lacking and included simple mistakes that should have been picked up in proof reading the pattern.
The instructions for handling the facings was totally inadequate. Three steps were provided in the pattern, against 16 steps in your blog post on the same subject.
There is a contradiction in your instructions on the placement of the loop. The written instructions say right side and your diagram says left side.
The fit is good, but as mentioned in other reviews above, more thought needs to be given to larger sizes. The bust dart in my size (22) is angled no where near my bust point.
I will make this pattern again, and expect that now I have found complete instructions, it will be a better experience next time.

A nice fitting dress. I am 6’ tall so, as usual, had to lower bust darts and add length throughout, but the sizing seems true. I also made it more Aline. But a nice pattern I can use for linen and cotton the summer too, I made it in wool. Will get a lot of use out of it! Facings tricky, but helps to look at tutorial here on their website.

I loved making this pattern and the finished dress is very easy to wear and fits well. The facing was a bit of a challenge but will be easier next time now that I know how to do it.

Love this dress! Such a simple style yet lovely subtle shaping so it doesn’t look like a sack. The all in one facing was a bit challenging, despite the illustrations in the instructions, but I worked it out eventually. Will definitely make again.

This would have to be my new favorite dress pattern. So far I have made 3 of them and they are super easy to make. I have varied the pattern each time once with no pockets and once with no back opening and once as the pattern shows. Absolutely love it

This may fit in smaller sizes, but the larger sizes are not graded properly. The shoulders are too wide and the darts too short for a wider body. When a woman grows, her shoulders do not.

I’ve made 15 June Sheath dresses!! Absolutely love this pattern. Finally mastered the interfacings. I’ve also simplified the side seam pockets. I can make this dress off by heart now without using the pattern. Love, love, love it!

Absolutely love the fit, needed no alterations (which is ALWAYS a plus for me!) However, even after sewing for MANY years, the facings gave me some difficulty. It turned out fine, but there was definitely a struggle along the way. Also, do not like the way the pockets were constructed, so will do them my own way next time. Will definitely make the dress again.

This is a great basic pattern! Check your head circumference to see if adding the closure slit and button are needed at the back. It is cute, but not everyone is a fan of back of neck buttons. You could also do ties, though. Pattern design and instructions worked well for me. I made this in a bold print and hope to use this design more in future. It is well drafted.

I love this pattern and I’ve made it 3 times – two dresses (one lined, one with facings) and a tunic top. Each time I have completed the shoulder seams differently as I can’t for the life of me figure out how to turn the shoulders. I would love to see a video tutorial on this aspect of the pattern. The fit is great, I’ll be making it again.

I have made two of these. Instead of facings I have fully lined the top half. Absolutely lovely pattern. Great fit as always with Style Arc. Excellent pattern.

Easy to understand, good sizing, as someone else already said the facing was a bit tricky couldnt understand how to do the shoulder seams,
Did have to make alterations though as I ordered a size bigger than I needed as most patterns I think come up small.
I’d order patterns again. Many thanks

Lovely sleeveless dress with a great shape. Full neck and sleeve facing a bit tricky but once mastered looks fantastic. The fit is also excellent… true to size!
