Mini, I cannot thank you enough for reviewing this pattern. I want to make this dress but since it seems very straight forward to sew, I just wanted to see if it fits well at all or not. How do you feel about sewing it in a knit?

Mini, your review serves as a model! It is thorough and precise and extremely helpful. I have sewn this pattern, and it has been fine, but with your suggestions it will be so much better the next time I make it! I think the knit fabrics I've used have bee

the knits I've used have been forgiving, is what I was trying to say! Thanks again for your great review!

Mini, thanks so much for the review. It sounds like this pattern would be perfect for DD#1. She's shaped the same as the pattern, i.e., broad shoulders and narrow hips! Thanks so much.

Mini, super review! I found this pattern only has enough walking ease in a knit such as matte jersey. In a woven, I add side slits.

Deepika, I haven't made this in a knit, so I don't really know. I like to use patterns specifically designed for knits. But from the other people's comments it sounds like it works with the right fabric choice.

I made this in a lightweight knit and was disappointed to find I had just made a sleep shirt!

I'm so glad I read your review. I was thinking about making this pattern out of 100% linen but I think I'll pass after reading your review. I'm looking for something to mimic my Eileen Fisher dresses. Some are straignt falling and some a line. Any suggestions? By the way, I just want to say that I always enjoy reading your reviews. They're so thorough. Just what I need!

Stephaney, you might look at Burda for linen dresses. I also like some of the current Kwik Sew dresses. I mentioned 3053, which I reviewed, but they have others too that are suitable for linen.KS 2716,2786,and 2982 are a few that have simple lines and should be as easy to sew as the Basic Dress. I haven't tried those 3 yet, but they are recommended for linen. To be honest, I am finding as as I work more with Kwik Sew I am liking them even better than Textile Studio. They just seem to fit me better. Their online catalog is www.kwiksew.com.

Mini, thanks for your thorough review. Lots of good suggestions for fitting dresses in general. I was also wondering if this style would work for me since I have "stomach curvature." Your review answers that question.

Your reviews teach me so much about pattern adjustment.
