Pattern Description:
Simple dress with large ruffle along the skirt line.
Pattern Sizing:
The usual sizing up to 16 for Colette, I cut a straight 10 and it fits relly well.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes only mine is more structured with the stiffer linen material.
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes, this pattern is super duper easy, and a really quick sew. I'd recommend this to a beginner.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I love the ruffle, it really makes the dress. I love how it makes a good canvas for accessories.
Fabric Used:
A bluish/purple linen blend
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I omitted the lining since I'll be wearing this more in the warmer months. Its way too hot here for linings! I also took in the back about 2 inches before installing my zipper.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I probably won't since this dress is so unique, but I definitely would recommend it to others! See more photos on my blog. Thanks for reading!
OOOH! This is adorable! Super cute on you...love the color. I would call it Periwinkle...so cute!

Beautiful dress. I just love the color of your linen. You've given me the push I needed to sew this for myself.
