Je suis très contente de ma robe appleton qui me va très bien. J'ai apprécié les explications claires et le fait qu'il y ait plusieurs tailles de bonnets.

Very good pattern to see up. Only took a few hours to sew up.

I know this is the first pattern Cashmerette released and I had been holding on to it. I finally made it and I will make another one, for certain. One test of a good pattern is how easy it is to match stripes. I purchased some on deep discounted striped fabric to make this dress. It went together beautifully! All the sides matched and the stripes were easy to match. I made it in a 20 in the largest cup size (E-F is it? I can never remember). Although it's not my preferred colors, it fits nicely and it went together easily. Sadly, because it's not in a stripe I particularly like, I don't wear it and why I will be making another in a more pleasing pattern.

I don't know why it took me so long to get on the Appleton band wagon. This is a wonderful pattern. Clear instructions, a quick and simple sew, and a gorgeous fit. It is very comfortable and stylish. I love my first one and I'm already planning to make more

I have had this pattern for ages and finally made it. It is wonderful. I made a straight 18G and used an ITY from Telio. Instructions were clear and it went together quickly for me. The fit was good. It’s comfortable and easy to wear. I had no issues with the front neckline coming open or being to loose. I will make it again!

I’ve already made a second one because the dress was so easy to make and fit so well.
I’m impressed with the clarity of the instructions as well as the pattern design and layout. I’m a sewist from way back and recently have found that the big-name patterns have cheaped out on design and instructions. It used to be that instructions would include some tips so you could improve your skills. Not any more. In fact, some big-name pattern makers have omitted instructions and if I weren’t experienced I would have been lost and probably given up.
Thanks to Jenny Rushmore and Cashmerette, I’ve rediscovered the joy of making my own clothes. This is the first-ever Cashmerette pattern for me AND my first-ever knit fabric pattern. I’m hooked!
I think my successes have inspired some friends, too!
I made a size 14/16 C/D.
The dress is super flattering and I’ve received lots of compliments.
I made the first dress expressly for a long-haul flight to Italy. I wanted something comfortable in a natural fibre, in a fabric that wouldn’t show dirt, that would be cool in hot weather, that would be flattering and wouldn’t require ironing. Not much to ask! I now have two dresses that for the description and I’ll have to choose.

I made this in a very "flimsy" bamboo jersey with loads of stretch. I graded from 10G/H to 12. The top is perfect - great coverage with no gaping. If I use a similar weight and stretch fabric the next time I make, it will be a straight 10.

Fantastic to finally have a pattern that fits my boobs but doesn’t drown me 👍

So pleased with my wearable muslin, can't wait to cut into my fashion fabric! I used the size calculator and was recommended to cut a 6E/F graded to an 8 at the waist, and the only changes I made to the recommendation was to cut the 6C/D cup for my smaller breast, and the 6E/F cup for my larger breast, because I hate padding the smaller side out to keep my neckline from looking uneven. On my next version I may not grade back to a 6 at the hip and just follow the 8 line down from waist to hem, just because I'd like a smidge more room for the drape from my lower abdominal pooch to the floor.
Absolutely love that I don't need to adjust the shoulders or the bust at all on this pattern, which are my usual complaints as a narrow shoulder/small ribcage gal with a larger bust.

I’m currently pregnant and wanted a pattern that could accomodate my newly enlarged bust and that would be nursing friendly, so I was delighted when the Appleton dress was released in an extended size range. The pattern fits great without any adjustments, and I love the neckline band which really does prevent any gaping. I’ve made 3 so far, and at 4 months pregnant I’m pretty much living in them - I don’t know if I’ll make it all the way to 9 months in these dresses but even if my bump outgrows them, I know I’ll get lots of use out of them once baby arrives.

I used the size calculator to determine how to cut out my Appleton dress, shaking my head all the way, I just knew anything with that many size changes wasn't going to fit. Well, it fits perfectly. Never, ever had I made something I didn't have to fuss with to fit this oddly-shaped body.. Very pleased. I added a simple pleated skirt so I could show off the border print and changed the shape of the sleeve. Will be making more of these. Now we just need to be let out of quarantine so I can wear it.

I really liked how easy this pattern was to follow on the tutorial. Plus I was able to access the sew along on the website and that helped me tremendously! There will be some tweaks that I will do next time. I cut it too short for my liking so I will leave it a little longer. And I will lower the strap hole as it sits way too high and I cannot find it without having someone help me.

Never have I had a dress which fitted so well and I could make myself. This pattern has given me so much confidence in myself and my sewing xxx

I made a maxi-fied Appleton dress for my sister. I just added about 14 inches to the bottom. She lives in another state, so I wasn't able to make a muslin, but it fit her great right out of the envelope!

I made two Appleton's in one week! Instructions were great and the sewalong made it even easier. We had an award dinner to go to and my second version I made in two days. I added stretch lace to the neckbands, belt and sleeves. I drafted an A-line maxi skirt that I matched to the waist line and hip notches on the original pattern and it turned out great! I received many compliments through the night!

I am very new to dressmaking, I've tried several bought patterns with absolute disasters as results, I was about to give up, then I found the Appleton on Instagram! I'm now in love with me made's my first Appleton was a triumph! No muslin! I will make a size smaller next time for shoulders but it's a minor thing the cup sizes are genius, and the "real woman" sizing options a celebration! Who doesn't love a wrap dress! I can't thank Jenny enough for opening up a world of successful dressmaking to me! The results are all because of the fantastic pattern and nothing to do with my skills! I would suggest if you are new like me, you find the sew along for the pattern you've picked and follow that I would never have managed without it! Thank you Jenny!

I cut the pattern out too small. Made a sample dress with leftover fabric just to sample it. I should have cut the pattern out to the maximum. Now zi have to get another pattern. I wrote for advice. Was told zi have to do sample dress with knit fabric. It wouldn’t matter.

I wear a 32HH bra and found the pattern needed a lot of altering to work for me. I followed the instructions for my measurements but still needed to lower the wrap ties another 1.5". I'm new to sewing so this was probably less about the pattern and more my learning process. I made a wrap top and will wear it a few times before I decide if I need to alter it more to make a dress. Instructions were very clear. The video helped.

The Appleton is a really comfortable%2C easy to wear dress. The only difficulty I found was attaching the neckband to the rest of the dress but you manage in the end with patience…%0D%0AI made the 1st dress a little longer but on my 2nd version %28in a beautiful Italian jersey print%29 I forgot to add the extra length to half of the dress … so had to go for the pattern length which I find a bit short.%0D%0AAlso on the long sleeved version the wrist are quite “snug” and I have tiny wrists.%0D%0AAll in all I think it’s one of the best wrap over dress patterns available.

Appleton Dress 12-32 PDF pattern

Mine turned out so pretty! It was a great fit and I love to wear it!

It looked fabulous. I have to give credit to the size calculator. Based on my measurements, I would have make a straight size. Using the calculator I graded between sizes although it looked wrong, and my dress fit perfectly. I have not made any other pattern that fits me better

Wow a wrap dress that actually fits me and stays secure all day! I love this pattern because it fits my boobs so beautifully and no gapping or spillage. I feel so good when I wear my Appleton and can't wait to make a few more. This is such a brilliant pattern
