I just made the original short version of this dress without much change (I did cut the skirt wider for more gathers...), and It was easy enough to make. I understood why I should leave the gathering stitch to make the casing so that the fabric would not slip and escape. I did only one line of gathering stitch and the skirt fabric got a little too "unstable." It was a little tricky to make the casing. Next time I would do two lines of gathering stitch.
I think this pattern is open to tweaking. I didn't like the scoop neck of this dress on me, so I will try boat neck next time (I will hack from the over-sized tee). I am also thinking about playing around with the sleeves like adding short sleeve flounce...? or make the long sleeves into bishop sleeves...? Lots of possibilities!
I havent used it yet! So behind with my sewing
I didn't think it was really my shape but putting a belt on made a huge difference as I don't have a true waistline.
This was just what I was looking for. Comfortable actual waist & simple to follow.
Admittedly I printed the pattern too small, however I am obsessed with this pattern! I LOVE IT! And have already made 4!
I absolutely love this dress I made 5 in different colours all with short sleeves.i have just bought two more Ellie and Mac patterns ,they are so easy to make love them.
The pattern is so easy to understand and to follow. I made 2 and I think it won't be the last time.
A lovely dress that is so simple to sew. Very clear instructions. I have made a maxi version for myself and my teenage daughters have asked for one each too! A great design for all body types and ages!
Lovely dress. Bodice a tit bit short.
The pattern was easy to make. My first outfit I’ve made and is wearable. Instructions were spot on. Will buy more patterns. Thank you Ellie
