Simple and accurate pattern, easy to follow if you have some sewing experience. I needed to ask for clarification on seam allowance (10mm) which this store advised very swiftly!
I decided to double the straps as I thought them a bit skinny on the largest size. I used a 25cm zip.
The quality of the pattern was really easy to understand. I added pockets to the seams of the dress and a pocket to the front. I would go off of the waist measurements to figure out what size to use for yourself. I ended up using 4 1/2yds that’s 43inches wide and that was enough for a large. Folding it raw edge to raw edge making it wide enough to for the skirt pattern. I would highly recommend 👍🏼
Thank you very much Annie for this awesome review and for the photo! Your pinafore dress looks suuuuper cute!!!!
I had to take it in a couple inches from the S since I usually wear an XS. I also shortened it by about 3-4 inches. This was really easy to follow! I wish the instructions were a little more detailed but I was able to do it as a beginner and am happy with the outcome!
I'm very pleased with the product and definitely recommend buying it. The pattern was easy to download, print out and assemble.
Lovely, clear instructions on how to sew the item. However, I'm missing a guideline how long of a zipper I need and how much fusible interfacing I need. I would've expected them to be on the same page with amount and type of fabric I need. I'm a total beginner with patterns like this, and I found the fabric consumption drawing very useful! Overall, looking forward to printing out the pattern and starting to work on it :)
I have never made a dress using a pdf pattern so this will be a challenge. I've been looking for a pattern like this dress so I was thrilled to find it finally.
