Love this pattern. Have made it a few times now, first in a viscose rayon, second in a stretch velvet and am part way through a linen.
Found instructions relatively simple to make but definitely used the extra tutorial on the website when in doubt. Pattern fits well, no adjustments needed.

This pattern’s structured sleeve came out really well in linen/rayon. I made this for a graduation ceremony and no adjustments were made. If I were to do it again I would move the dart in the bust but it isn’t too noticeable. I wish the tutorial was just slightly more clear, but I was able to figure it out with zero unpicking (thank goodness). I think making the wrap ties longer would help have a more full tie if plus size — I’m a size 18.

I love this pattern. I’d had my eye on it for awhile and was just looking for the right fabric. I chose a candy pink linen which looks great made up into the Millicent. I’m a size 10 and didn’t make any alterations except for taking about 4cm off the length (I’m 162cm). I didn’t need to use a press stud to stop the bodice gaping. I just love the lantern sleeves – overall a really flattering design. The tutorial was helpful, although a plain fabric would’ve been clearer.

This dress turned out well. I made it in a dark green linen with the short sleeves, size 10. I initially had some issues with gaping – probably due to the weave of the fabric and my smaller bust. I unpicked the front bodice waistband and pulled it down in a wedge shape starting at about 1 and 1/2 inches to nothing at the side seams which tightened this up. This adjustment also moved the bust darts into a better position for me. If making this dress, I recommend using a basting stitch for the waistband on the front bodice so you can check for fit and gaping before committing to smaller stitches – unpicking ain’t fun 😉 Overall, very happy with how this dress turned out. Got lots of compliments 🙂

This dress is lovely, in making and wearing.
I made it in plain black linen with plans on making a more formal one too – just need to find the right fabric!
I am on the curvey side, so the bodice required adjustments. This included neckline, shoulders, waist and darts.
Such a beautiful sew.

I made this dress in a size 10 Paper pattern. The pattern markings were very clear and it all fitted very well. The fabric I worked with was a stone wash sustainable linen which was good to work with and draped well. I decided to line the bodice though to give a little more body and support. This worked well using a light weight poly cotton. The only thing I had to adjust was the length as I’m 160cm and added tape ties to the sides inside and a pop stud at the front neckline. Looking forward to wearing this one in the next few months in Spring/ Summer.

I love the Millicent dress pattern. I first made a mock up for the bodice in muslin and found I did not need to make any changes to the pattern. I then made the dress in a royal blue and white seersucker for a yacht club Memorial Day party. For anomaly dinner I made the dress is a silk light weight satin and both dresses were a hit. I am 5’2 and about 170 pounds. I used a size eighteen pattern.

The finished dress fits like dream and can we talk about how cute the sleeves for short sleeve version are?! I am going to mix and match those sleeves on other patterns because that’s how adorable they are! The silhouette of the dress will flatter any body type. I made mine out of navy linen – don’t sleep on this pattern, it’s an instant classic.

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.
