    Am i the only one who’s dress is far shorter at the front than the back? Due to the curved seam and straight edge of the skirt i find that the hem at the front is 2 inch higher than the back.
    On a positive it was easy to put together and initially i thought that the dress would sit right due to bodice being cut as one piece, but it does. No slippage at the shoulder line.
    I will slightly modify the front skirt piece to give it a matching curve and try again

    Really great pattern, easy to follow instructions. Made the dress in a cotton fabric.
    I very large in sizing, I had to make in a size smaller.

    Great dress, i did change the pattern a little, as i cut the front on the fold i left out the seem centre front. Shirring was very fun to try. I am planning to sew it again and have the fabric ready to go.

    Lovely dress but very large. I made the 18 but ran in 2.5cm down centre front and centre back seams and adjusted the neck. I have nice worn as yet as I am going to take a smidge more out of centre front seam.

    I really love the style of this dress and decided not to wait for a printed version to arrive, but to try a PDF. As all previous patterns have fitted me well, I just made it, only to find it was enormous! so looked again at the pattern and realised I didn’t use the test square to make sure the pattern had been printed correctly. rooky error. anyway have remade the dress and love it. but will be ordering printed patterns in future 🙂

    Nice pattern. Side gathers very flattering. Wish I’d taken more notice of front pattern match as the seam runs down front and back. I will make neck opening a little smaller next time. Nice gathers on sleeve but I made a tube and inserted thin elastic.
    Come up very large, suggest downsizing.

    I love this dress! I made it in a woven cotton/tencel gingham in green & white and accented with pink/white gingham mini-piping at the neck and waist.

    The fit is so comfortable—a summer dress with sleeves that aren’t constricting or hot and just the right amount of swish/room in the hips is so useful. I accommodated my pear-shaped figure by cutting a larger size skirt and just gathering it more to fit the smaller size bodice.

    Two younger, hipper strangers stopped to compliment my dress. Many more are in my future!

    I had so much fun sewing this dress! I have never worked with elastic thread before so I watched a u-tube and it was so easy. The flow and fit of this dress is wonderful! I could have even downsized one size with the extra room. I made this is a knit fabric so no need to alter the neckband but I do feel even a woven material would be no problem with the regular neckband. I already have material to make another.

    This is a lovely pattern. Fits perfectly and looks so pretty and summery.
    2 minor niggles: explanation of woven neck binding could be clearer and a note needed on the pattern to say it is unsuitable for directional prints

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
