Sewed this pattern four times already, I love the look, very comfy! Easy and quick to sew. Perfect pattern, typically Cashmerette, 😊!
Just finished the Pembroke dress with short sleeves and scoop neck. I made a straight size 16 C-D with no modifications except shorter length. (Knee length looks better on me than midi. ) It fits very well - actually roomier than I expected. My only comment is that the neckband would have been better about an inch shorter to draw in the neckline a bit more. I used a hot pink Liverpool brocade, and the dress fills my need for a semi-formal cocktail dress. As in all the Cashmerette patterns I have made, the pattern is well-drafted and very quick and easy to sew. I really appreciate your excellent customer service!
What a refreshing experience! I picked a size based on my measurements, cut & sewed it exactly as designed, and IT FIT! I bought a couple more of Cashmerette's patterns afterward, and I'm actually excited to start making them, rather than anxious over what fitting nightmare awaits me. Thanks Jenny & crew for making patterns that keep the joy in sewing!
Have made a couple of these teally simple and easy pattern
When my mother-in-law passed away, I needed something special yet fast to wear to the funeral. What caught my attention was the belt - in my opinion, it’s a design detail that gives the dress more structure and a dressier look. The dress came together quickly because it’s well designed with clear, easy instructions. I’m a quilter, and have only been sewing garments about two years. The pattern challenged me without overwhelming or frustrating my beginner skills. The final garment fit perfectly, another plus because I usually have to make shoulder or neckline adjustments. I felt so chic at the funeral; my husband said I was the best dressed woman at the funeral and he was very proud that I had made the dress myself. The dress was also very comfortable! I’ve already made a second one for winter and boots!
