Love this dress. Love the angle that the under sleeve creates for the sleeve hem. I think it is very flattering.
Initially I had an issue with trying to get the top of the box pleat sorted. In the end I worked it out.
All the pieces went together easily. It was an enjoyable sew.

Very flattering dress. I love it! Have made 4; 1 in viscose, 1 in linen/viscose, 1 in tencel and 1 in linen/ tencel/viscose.
Made personal adjustments, and the markings still was perfect.
Have not been able to wear them out yet, but are looking forward to use them!

I love this dress, the shaping suits my body type. Made it in linen from Spotlight. I lowered the neckline slightly at the front, shortened the shoulder width and the length of the bodice. Wore to a wedding with a self made belt. I love Style Arc patterns.

I thoroughly enjoyed making this dress, which was my second experience of a StyleArc pattern. I followed the advice of others and opted for the smaller size. I’m usually on the border of a 10/12 and the 10 fitted perfectly.
The pattern pieces come together really easily, notches match up great, and a personally found some of the touches really helpful – like markings on the pattern stating which side of the sleeves is the front.
The only observation I would make is that there is no guidance in the instructions as to when the seams ought to be finished on the inside (overlocking etc). As the pattern isn’t lined, I opted for a Hong Kong finish. But worth bearing in mind that you may need to finish the seams at key points.
I made this in a lightweight cotton drill in a dusky pink and it looks lovely. It was a test run for a silk that I’m going to opt for next.
I chose to insert a lapped zip, but only because I didn’t have an invisible zip long enough. It still looked great.

This is a very stylish dress. The drafting is wonderful – the sleeves slot in so perfectly. I made a size 12 without the zip as I wanted a slightly more relaxed fit as I will be wearing this on Xmas day. I used the instructions for the inseam pockets from the Montana Dress. These give a very good finish to the pocket and the seam. I used a washed linen from Tesutti’s and underlined with a cotton lawn. Next version will be a size 10 with zip in silk for my MOB dress.

Just cut out “Gertrude”. Concerned I might have cut it out tooo small. Reading reviews, maybe I’ll be fine. Love the design can’t wait to see the end result. Will keep you posted

I love the design and it comes together beautifully, but the sizing is on the larger side, haad to reduce significantly, and now regret not buying multi-size, since I’m more than one size off.

I have now made this dress in 3 different versions. The first was to play around with the fitting on the top, just needed reducing a little and I elongated the back pleats slightly. I am very pleased with the result.

Made this up in plain 100% linen which emphasised the shaping, great to dress up or down. I usually cut a size larger to fit but wish I hadn’t for this, had to take in quite a bit as it works up quite large. I’ll be making up more Style Arc patterns!

Like the look of dress. Really easy to put together but huge sizing for me. Had to take in at the back seam a couple of inches and don’t need a zipper which is good because the pale green sage linen I bought didn’t have matching zipper–couldn’t find anything close!! I like but just a little frumpy from the back.

This pattern was bought as part of a birthday gift for my daughter. I had sent the email announcing its release to her as I liked it very much but I am no longer slim and it would not have suited me. She liked the design hence the purchase. She has a demanding job, husband and two kids to care for but has cut out the dress and is hoping to finish sewing it this week end. She is still liking it.
