Easy to follow instructions and wonderful fit. Definitely will make again!
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.
Lenox Shirtdress 12-32 printed pattern
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.
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.
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!
