mollyshark said... On the sizing, you may already know this but on the major pattern companies go by high bust measurement under your arms, not full bust. You'll find you will get the shoulder fit you want and it is much easier to let out the skirt portion of the dress than take in the bodice/shoulders.
All in all, you did a great job on this. Very cute style. 3/8/10 7:12 AM

becca a said... Lovely dress! It was worth all the work. Looks like you may need to do an alteration I routinely do: take 1/2" out between shoulder and bust to get the bodice to fit. 3/9/10 11:14 PM
Lozzie said... Hi, I'm new to patternreview.com and stumbled upon this after almost completing the same pattern. I've got as far as the zip/pocket part (I agree - the instructions were a tad confusing!!) but I've just tried it on and I reckon its a good 3 sizes to big : (
Mollyshark, thats interesting what you say about sizing - may account for the huge dress I'm left with!! oops!
This is only the second dress I've ever made so I'm putting it down to experience and cutting a smaller size with new fabric next week!
Thanks for the review

poppykettle said... Thanks for the review on this dress - i've got the pattern and was planning to make it, but changing it to be a maxi-dress instead. Will see how I go! 3/27/11 9:52 PM
