Lovely dress, tricky collar & waist band

This dress turned out so pretty! The instructions were very clear, apart from the long collar & button all-in-one where you really have to squint hard at the image and find tiny notches to know which way it goes. The rest was smooth sailing - the sleeves were surprisingly easy too! I found the waistband a bit tricky - about an inch smaller than my bodice so had to stretch it to fit... Wondering if this is normal or if I traced the wrong size because I graded up between bust and waist.
It worked though! Such a beautiful, clean dress - I am having a "wow I made this" moment.
Picture of my work in progress... I hadn't finished up the collar band yet.

Adore, great fit

Comfy fit and comes together easily with help of instructions. I did have trouble with button placket as bids not wish to have a collar of any sort. Highly recommend. Sizing recommendations are accurate.

Well made pattern, sizing suggestion accurate

The pattern calculator on the website suggested I use a smaller bodice size than I expected (plus the larger bust size), and the result fit perfectly.
My only complaint is a style one: why do all plus-size dresses (ready-to-wear included) seem to put the waistband right under the breasts? I added 1 1/4" in length to the bodice to put the bottom of the waistband at my natural waist, and I am much happier with the result.

Excellent pattern!

This pattern is perfect. I used only the bodice to create a costume for a friend. I had another pattern for the costume but I needed to scale it larger and I was having trouble on my own. So the Lenox dress bodice was the answer. I was able to adjust the remainder of the first pattern and then marry the parts together.

This is the second time I’ve used a Cashmerette pattern when sewing for friends. The directions are so helpful, clear and complete. Thank you for your wonderful products!

Beautiful dress! A little tricky instructions.

This dress came out so pretty. I had to grade up beyond the largest size, but it worked and looks fabulous. I've made two now! (I'd love to see some patterns for larger waist sizes that are not hourglass shaped.)
The instructions for the button band are quite confusing. It took a few tries the first time, and I should have written it down, because it took a couple tries the second time too.
It's pretty though, so worth the effort.
