Wonderful pattern to work with. Super easy instructions to follow. And for was great. I was able to make it in a couple of evenings for a cruise. So many compliments.
My only thing was I didn’t have time to do a proper fitting so the arm holes are a bit big but no one noticed and it will be an easy fix when I get back to it.

Love this pattern really easy to follow and looked so good. I got it done in just two evenings. I couldn’t take my full time to fit but other than the arm holes being a bit big, not a hard fix. I still looked great on my cruise. So many complements I loved wearing it.

Love this pattern and hoping to make up another one some time soon. I like how the flounce was drafted and falls so beautifully. Instructions are super clear and well suited for a confident beginner like me.

Super cute dress. I’m 5’11” so had to adjust the length of the bodice. It was tricky to work out where to adjust the side bodice and the frills. Not sure I nailed it. Would be great to have an indication on the pattern as to where you should lengthen (or shorten) the top half pieces if necessary. Thanks!
