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!
I chose this pattern for the pockets, and it stayed for the opera tickets. I sewed this up in a blue textured knit and it was so elegant I wore it to an opera performance. While this dress does have twelve darts to sew up, it's straight forward and easy to do...take a deep breath and take your time. Once those darts are complete, it comes together rather quickly. The fit of this dress wears beautifully and can be dressed up or down, and is incredibly comfortable, which makes it a perfect wardrobe staple. As ever, thank you Cashmerette team!
