So Comfy!

Another great club pattern! I sewed my (first of many) Wexford from a cotton/spandex, 12 E/F, shortened length by 2” at the hemline (I am 5’-5”). This dress is so comfortable, just the right amount of fit in the bodice, and just the right amount of ease and swing everywhere else. I did have to recalculate my neckband to be 85% of my neck opening and install in 1/4’s, the pattern piece just wouldn’t work out for me in this fabric. This is an easy pattern, great instructions too!

Nice look, easy sew

I sewed the long-sleeved dress, using the size suggested by the calculator, 14 graded to 16 at the waist.

I am 5 feet tall, 41-40-44. The fit was good; I like my skirts long, and could have lengthened the skirt in the pattern, but decided to add a ruffle at the hem instead.

NEW FAVORITE

This is only the second dress I've made. However, the muslin looks so good I am tempted to wear it out in public rather than use it as a nightgown, its intended purpose. I made it from a soft blue bamboo spandex knit from Surge. It is sooo pretty and the whole thing came together with incredible ease. Since I use a projector, I think my time from cutout to finish was less than 2 hours.

Since it was such a quick sew, I went ahead and made the top version of this in a cappuccino color and wow, it goes with everything in my wardrobe. I made it a length that just covers my belly roll if completely untucked but it looks great with a French tuck as well. Will be utilizing this several more times this summer.

Also, newsflash: Cashmerette are the very first patterns that do NOT SHOW MY BRA at the underarm. I am only 5 feet tall and have an H cup. Do you know how hard it is to find any pattern/ready to wear that is sleeveless yet doesn't show my entire side boob? Absolutely impossible. Somehow the digitized pattern size recommender thing works its magic.

favorite top!

This is my favorite, go-to pattern. I love it as a dress and my mom loves it as a top. I appreciate how few adjustments I need to make in order to achieve the perfect fit.

Hidden gem

When I saw the pattern for the first time I was disappointed at it (not my style). Living in South Florida and the spring heat i felt i wanted to wear a dress. This came up, printed and sewed it in and old poly blend jersey from my stash…. Instant love, perfect fit, hides what I want to hide and enhances what I want to show. In less than a month I have done 3 and more to come for sure!

Didn't realise I needed this pattern

I was late in seeing the value in this pattern in my wardrobe, I've made 5 now. Love it, fits beautifully across many fabric bases

Lovin' Wexford

Once I saw the pattern the 1 time...I was totally in love and I wanted to make it immediately. I was right! The pattern is easy and quick and I picked a wonderful pink jersey knit! I made it for those summer hot days when I go just for a walk and my husband says: hey, why are wearing that fancy dress? It's just a walk? :) yey, I just love those little compliments in my life!

Wexford Top and Dress

This is a wonderful pattern and a super cute dress. I made the sleeveless dress version in a cute Art Gallery printed cotton lycra. It fit perfectly around the armholes and bust and flares nicely to cover a multitude of sins around the middle. I got tons of compliments on this cute little dress everywhere I wore it. I'm planning one for winter to wear with boots and one as a nightgown. This is a very versatile pattern.

Wexford Top and Dress is Wow!!

It's no secret that I love Cashmerette patterns and the great sizing calculator. When the Wexford dress and top was released, it ticked all the boxes for a great sleeveless summer dress and I printed it and picked a great cotton lycra fabric, and made it up. The Wexford dress didn't disappoint. It fits nicely around the bust and armholes and flares wonderfully before the tummy begins and hides any unsightly bulges. My wonderful summer Wexford dress was in constant rotation and it never failed to bring compliments. Everyone asked, "where did you get that cute dress?" I'm working on a sleeved version for winter. If you haven't made one, get out the pattern and get started, it's a winner.

Versatile Pattern ❤️

I made my toile, my very first time trying a neckband too, it turned out lovely and very wearable. I have made a second, both are for short sleeve tops with a bit of added length and both feel great on. I am now planning my third, thanks for such a great pattern.

Wexford dress pattern

An absolute delight to sew! I have made myself 2 no sleeved versions, and made my daughter a swimsuit coverup using the sleeveless dress version. I made the 12C/D version and the 16G sizes. As usual the fit is great and I plan to make more! My only complaint is that Iwhen I downloaded the pattern I was missing the page that contained the sleeve facing. I am not sure if it was a printing error or that I lost it? However, I improvised using the neckline piece. Another great pattern!

Wexford Dress

A lovely simple jersey dress. The pattern is well designed, very easy to follow and quick to make. This pattern would be perfect for a beginner. It is size inclusive and has the added bonus of catering for different busy sizes. Thoroughly recommend this pattern

Perfect travel dress

I love the easy fit of the Wexford. I recently made two of them for a trip. The drafting was spot on and the sleeveless one I made fit perfectly with no gapping. I did a 3/4 sleeve one in double brushed poly and it’s like secret pajamas. I will definitely make some more tops going into fall.

So easy to make

Easy, well-written instructions. Exactly the pattern I have been wanting— my favorite type of dress.

Wonderful Wexford!

I have made 3 Wexfords so far and plan to make more! This is not a pattern I would have purchased but as it was a Cashmerette Club pattern and I had it I thought, it looks simple and would make a good nightgown— but let me tell you it is absolutely awesome. I made 2 for myself and I am constantly wearing them out and about. I made one for my daughter who loves it also.
I planning sleeved versions for fall and winter. Maybe a kimball to wear over it. This pattern goes together quickly and easily. The calculator put me in an 18GH-22-18 and I made a straight 18GH without grading.
