This turned out to be a most flattering and lovely dress. Instructions and the helpful homepage was excellent. I coulld grade between sizes and am very pleased with this pattern and the outcome. I will absolutely make it again and look for more Cashmerette patterns.

I made a few tweaks to this pattern but overall I love it. The sewalong on the website really helped, the instructions are easy to follow and the dress construction is uncomplicated. I will keep buying patterns from Cashmerette and I am considering joining “the club”!

Pattern instructions were clear and easy to follow. With only 7 pattern pieces it was a quick sew. I made a straight size 24 with a C/D cup but that turned out to be too big for me, so alterations were needed to get the fit right. I will make it again but will choose size 22 for the bodice then grade out to 24 for my hips.

Love this dress, it is such a great fit on me. I made a size 18 G cup view A. I used 7 print fabrics and 2 solids in georgette fabric for my dress. I created patchwork fabric for the 3 skirt tiers and picked out the prints I loved for the bodice and sleeves. I backed my fabrics where necessary with white georgette. It went together easily with good instructions and I fortunate fit wise to only have to add some width to the centre back to accomodate a broad back.

I made a straight 16D even though I should have graded from a 14D bust to a 18 waist and a 20 hip. I went for view A but made the skirt longer by about 6". It fits like a glove and the seersucker fabric from Merchant & Mills is perfect for this pattern. As usual the instructions (even for Swiss girls) are clear and the dress is quite a quick make.

I made the view B of the dress, swapping in flutter sleeves after my first toile as I need a full bicep adjustment and tried both sleeve variations and neither was flattering on a fuller arm, hence a flutter sleeve I also lengthened. I lengthened the skirt by 4 inches to get a tea length for a wedding.
I did two toiles, but found my final fabric (crepe) gave an unexpected result. The skirt really dragged down the waistline - I had to remove about 3 inches at the front waist which was fiddly after sewing and overlocking - I hate going backwards! I ended up making a self tie belt a couple of inches wide as I found the ties supporting the weight of the longer skirt - even in a light crepe - could not do the job well, and I needed the belt to add definition. I raised the neckline (I am a G cup and needed more coverage) and had to grade the waist out. I found the multiple sizes on the print pattern REALLY HARD to work with for grading, in some areas it is impossible to follow the lines as so many sizes overlap. The size calculator gave me an 18 bust 24 waist 18 hip; I ended up making a 22 bust, 24 waist and 20 hip as the size recommendation was way off. So toile first my sewing friends! Happy with finished result after all adjustments, but a little hard to get there.

LOVE this pattern so much that I have made 6 of them!!!! 6!!! It just fits in all the right spots! I find it super hard to dress my size 20 very hourglass figure as most larger patterns seem to be a little more Apple shaped. But this fits perfectly! I love them so much!!!!

I've made my first Roseclair and there will be many more in the future. I went with the view B/C dress and the view A sleeves. The pattern comes together with ease and this was one of my quicker makes. I think, once cut, it took me 2 days of sewing with a lot of distractions and breaks. The most time consuming part are the waist ties and bias for the neckline, not because it's complex but simply because it requires some fidgety stuff (which is not my strength....). The fit is wonderful, it's a little low at the bust line but that has to do with some standard alterations I do. Because you tie it, it fits nice and snug at the waist and last but not least, the skirt is nice and flowy and has amazing coverage. I sometimes sit rather unlady like with wide legs and even then, it keeps your legs fully covered! So in short, another banger from Cashmerette.

I have been looking for the perfect woven wrap dress. I found this one in time to make for a friend's wedding. It turned out exactly as I imagined in a teal silk. Fitting was pretty easy for me. I lined the bodice because my fabric was thin and lengthened the skirt for a cute midi. I felt so pretty and comfortable all night. This is my new go to wrap dress pattern! Cashmerette pattern drafting is always spot on

I’ve made 5 Roseclairs, and will almost certainly make more. They are flattering and feminine on my busty body, and make me feel instantly elegant. I’ve made the tired version with the balloon sleeves (I seriously love those sleeves), but I also made a couple with the plain skirt and short sleeves when I was squeezing it out of 3 m of fabric, and I love the drape of those sleeves also. Looking for a nice drapy fabric for a winter version now.

This pattern makes an easy to sew cute dress

Love this dress and aside from the time required to undertake all the gathering it was an easy sew... Love the options with bust size adjustment, which I needed. I do find the waist ties inside the dress in particular seem to stretch or move and the dress starts falling off me after a while and I have to re-secure it. I think when I sew another one I will create a button tab with a button and buttonhole at the waist instead to feel more secure.

Not sure why it’s taken me so long to make this dress, it was a joy to see from start to finish, (even using a linen/cotton blend that likes to fray once cut) to overcome the fraying issue I overlocked all edges making sure not to trim the pieces and that all notches were marked. Very comfortable to wear and receives lots of compliments when wearing. Love the sleeves, they’re perhaps my best yet. I’ve never really been a dress person as rtw doesn’t fit right, Cashmerette is slowly but surely changing that for which I am extremely grateful. Next up is my first Upton.

I'm a cashmerette size 20- 22 but I'm a true pear shape with a small bust, and high waist.
Overall this is a good pattern;the instructions are clear and the method of construction is great. The bias neck finishing into the ties is such a time saver and gives a neat finish. However I find it much easier to fit commercial patterns from the Big 4 than Cashmerette patterns on my body.
I also didn't like the closures on this dress; I lengthened the outside tie so it would wrap all the way around and cinch in my waist. With the original ties it just looked very frumpy around my waist.

Hi,
It's been my first Cashmerette pattern (and my first sewing pattern in english). I sewn this dress for my girl who was attending a wedding. She's a F cup and the Roseclair is her best fitting dress ever. Highly recommend. I will sew her another one for the winter.

Hi! I absolutely love this dress. It is the first dress I make that fits my shoulders and bust without any adjustments. The only issue I have with it is the inner side tie closure. It bulges and spoils the look. Next time I make it I will need to find a solution, a snap perhaps…

This was my first experience with a Cashmerette pattern. I chose the Roseclair dress based on others' reviews and am not disappointed. This pattern is well drafted, and using the recommended size for me, it fits perfectly. I was expecting to have to make alterations but didn't need any, except to shorten the length of the skirt as I am only 5'1". I used a drapey rayon print, and now have a beautiful dress for special occasions. I especially love the unique sleeves!

I just love the fit, it’s so flattering A+

I love this dress! Easy to sew and fabulous to wear 😀

I did order the PDF pattern in error as my printer is not good enough to create the pattern. So I ordered the regular one right away. I have so many good things to say about this company. I was making the Roseclair dress for my 17 year old granddaughter. She is lovely, but her body shape does not conform to the average garment nor typical pattern. A further challenge was I live in New Jersey and she lives in Illinois but I took Cashmerette’s advice and made a muslin bodice and sent it out for her to try. It fit fine, so I made the dress. I have been sewing since I was 11, which is 66 years ago. She did request a long sleeve which I was able to do. Everything about this pattern was first class. I did have a couple of questions with respect to size before starting and sent emails to the company. I received a response right away that was very helpful. I hope Cashmerette is able to continue with such superior customer service. Dress is finished, fits beautifully and best of all, she loves it! Thank you!

I made the top version of this pattern in size 20/E cup with no adjustments. I used a viscose fabric that had good drape and found it very comfortable to wear. It was a very easy sew and a very flattering style that hides my belly. I will be sewing more of this pattern as tops.

I had seen several positive reviews and photos of the Roseclair and decided to order. It was so easy to make and fit. I have my second one cut out already!

this dress is lovely and an easy make

I love my Roseclair dress. I made it out of a polyester crepe that draped well. I wanted a shorter dress with tiers so I hacked it to make 2 tiers. It’s super comfortable for a dressy dress. The fit was great and flattering. I highly recommend it!

I made View A of this pattern in a lovely cotton gingham seersucker. The instructions were very clear and I easily made it over a weekend. The sizing was spot on and the fit was perfect, without any adjustments required. It was so lovely to make something to fit my large bust without having to redraft the bodice. I received numerous compliments when I wore it for the first time, including being stopped in the street by a stranger, who told me "what a beautiful dress!" I need more Roseclairs in my wardrobe; 100% recommend.
