   The pattern is so easy to read and follow. Sleeves are little too tight, rest of the pattern dress suits perfectly. Next time would prefer fabric with some stretch.

   The fit is perfect and its a beautiful finished dress. I used rayon but will make it again in something slightly firmer. The pattern is fabulous. My only feedback is to include more instructions. I had problems working out how to attach the ties to the front and then how to finish the binding over the skirt and top seam. I fudged it another way and it worked out, but this was frustrating. I hate making binding out of slippery fabric so used premade bias binding and that worked wonderfully. I’m definitely making this one again.

   I love this pattern, I’ve made it three times, the latest I made longer almost to the ankle, it moves beautifully, I made it in crepe twice and rayon once, the sizing is spot on.

   I loved making this dress its such a straightforward easy to follow pattern a bit of love and hate with the ruffles at one point as I used a slippery fabric so hemming was a tad fiddly but got there in the end. The sizing was spot on for my shape and fits so well #51japes

   Very cute dress, easy to wear. I reduced the amount of ruffle along the bottom as my fabric was a little stiffer than I would have prefered, but I was using what I had. The front neck binding could use a notch. My front neckline stretched out after basting the flounce on so my binding sended up short. This caused the front neck to gape. I went back and took up the excess and now its fine.
   Armhole binding came out perfect. I cut mine on the bias for smoother fit.

   I bought a single size 8 paper pattern and added 4cm at the hip for my size 10 hips. I used a vintage silk crepe de chine bought from an ASG sewing retreat. The dress fits perfectly, it is a truly lovely dress, very flattering, the wrap stays in place and the neck flounce is gorgeous.

   lovely pattern, fairly straitforward. some detail from attaching ruffle to dress missing. Notches are on skirt but not on ruffle. Came out looking beautiful on my daughter.

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.
