I am a complete beginner and coped well with this pattern, it's a great fit and straight forward to put together.
I sewed this dress four times and I love it! The fit is fantastic: the first time in my live I wear fitting clothes and I’m so grateful that I found Cashmerette patterns. Thank you, Jenny and team! Keep on making patterns for curves!
Works well with both prints and plains, and is both more flattering and more comfortable than expected. Especially love, love, love the pockets! True to size and quick to sew, the fit is perfect out of the envelope. No FBA!!!!
Great dress - already planning a second. Love being able to cut and sew without the headache of an FBA and know it fits perfect. Never been so pleased to be housebound with a chicken pox child (he fine now :-) - gave me a good excuse to sew with beauty up.
Such a great fit out of the envelope, just by grading the hips out. Great instructions!
