    For me, maybe a smidge short for what I'm personally comfortable with but overall great pattern! I can't wait to make more pieces.

    I love this pattern! Currently making another for my friend because she saw mine and loved it.

    Easy to follow pattern and such a cute dress! Perfect for my trip to Paris. I used linen fabric with cotton lawn lining and it was so comfortable! Also added a few inches to the bottom as I prefer my mini dresses to be more of a modest fit and loved how it turned out.

    Nice pattern. Super easy to follow. I got stuck on that back panel, so I used the YouTube video! My armhole was a tad tight but it was fine.

    A clear and well-designed pattern! The instructions were also very detailed and included helpful sketches. Just a small tip from me... I don't know if it was my fault, but I sewed a regular zipper into the dress and only realized afterward that an invisible one would have been better. The dress still turned out beautifully, though.

    Easy pattern to follow - I made a few adjustments (made it shorter and changed about how the arm holes were done)

    Very cute pattern and I love any dresses that have a lining. I added inseam pockets and moved the zipper to the back.

    Pattern was really easy to work through. I would say that you might have to work the neck line a little bit.

    Great pattern, easy to follow and very pretty results. However, it requires quite a bit of adjustment at the bust to get the right fit.

    The pattern is super simple. It's true that the neckline is quite wide for a larger bust, but the wider lace helps to cover a bit more 😅. I also think the choice of fabric is crucial; with a fabric that drapes well, it looks great, but if you use a stiffer fabric, I think reducing the skirt's slope would be a good option. I really liked it, so I made several, since my teenager asked for one just like it as soon as she saw it. Mine is an XL, and I altered the blue one, using a medium for the bust and a small for the waist.

    Super easy and fun pattern! I did make some adjustments, all for my preference (little bit more back coverage so I extended the length of the middle band, added elastic to the top triangles to give a bit more support, etc), but it was super easy and fun to do.

    This is my first time sewing a dress, and it's been fun. I recommend it to beginners like me, although if you already know how to sew... even better!! Maybe next time I'll choose a slightly heavier fabric, but the pattern is perfect! I still had to take it in at the hips. Oh, and you can skip the zipper because it has buttons if that's a problem for you. I recommend it 🖤

    A simple and easy-to-follow pattern. Initially, I only made a sample to ensure the correct size. The fabric I used is a soft canvas, so I cut it on the bias to avoid it being too stiff. I didn't use a zipper because it fit perfectly, which greatly sped up the project.

    I was hesitant to buy it, but in the end, I have absolutely no regrets! I have the dress of my dreams!! Thank you so much, it's fantastic! The instructions are clear and it's easy to make for sewists who have already completed one or two projects!

    I used the bow part of the pattern to make my graduation dress. Instead of the half bow I used the off the shoulder part to make a full bow that went off both of my shoulders and it was great. The measurements were very accurate and the instructions were easy to follow!

    So easy to follow. I've never made an item of clothing before and I'm really happy with how it turned out. As I'm smaller on top I managed to create two sizes in one for the best fit on my body.

    Great pattern! Easy to follow. Next time I'd sized up for a little more busy coverage. I made the band on the back a little wider for some extra coverage too. Pretty quick to make too!

    I highly recommend this pattern! It took me 1.5 days, but I'm relatively new to sewing and following patterns. I'm typically between size small and medium and medium ended up fitting me perfect🙂

    Looks great, easy to make. That said if you are an hourglass shape the back looks a bit baggy without darts.

    This dress turned out great -- the combination of written directions and youtube tutorial was super helpful, and the seller was very responsive in answering the one question I did have. I did modify the neckline to make it less wide and low after making a prototype, and I made the lining a shorter skirt length because I ran out of fabric.

    Such a cute set!! I used a linen blend and it's so lovely. I had a hard time with the seams connecting the top of the shirt to the body of it but I'm pretty sure it's my skill level - I'm a confident beginner. I feel so cute in this set though. The instructions give such good detail. I'll definitely be reusing and adding some different elements to each new one I make!

    I love this outfit! I made the shorts in black lining fabric, then self lined to be less see through- it was soo comfy I make it in a dust pink knit as week and added a bow to the front as well! The top I did in broadcloth then used the same lining from the shorts to line the bodice. I also tighted the upper bodice by adding a center back seam, and made a slip to keep the ruffle for the lower bodice piece. I love this pattern!

    Very straightforward easy pattern, great for beginners! If you want the dress to be tight fitting like the photo I would recommend to go down a size. But that's not to say the pattern is flawed, it's just inclusive!

    I made this out of a white lightweight, jean fabric, it was beautiful! Specially paired with stretch white jeans for a memorial day party this last weekend. I also need it in a dark blue stretch knit, and it hugged my form beautifully! I love this pattern!

    Great pattern! I was able to put this dress together in a few hours. I chose size XL based on the size chart (my bust is usually a big issue with these patterns) and it fit great! Granted, I did sew this dress in a non stretch denim so it’s stiff but just what I was looking for! The modifications I did was I went without lining and instead bias taped the neckline and armholes for a seamless finish.
