I pulled this together in a few hours and really like the result. Details: I'm 5'6", waist 45, hips 54, high bust 42, C/D cup. The pics are a size 22, with a hip modification to a 20. I have very large upper arms and this fit perfectly! I didn't add the sleeve cuff, because I liked the length without them. I also didn't include the skirt slits. My only criticism of the pattern is the neckline instructions were difficult to figure out. Once I had decoded them, I actually reversed the process and attached the binding to the right side of the dress first, then pressed inward and hand stitched the binding closed to avoid seeing any stitching on the right side. I also shortened the neck binding strip about an inch, so that it wouldn't gape. I made the dress to go with the jacket pictured and love the way the neckline matches up with the jacket!

I made a size 18 G/H cup in a firm ponte. This was a quick sew dress for me, if you have a bold print or an interesting fabric and don’t want a lot of seams to have to pattern match or interrupt a large design its a great design with just a back, front, sleeve and optional belt. I am super happy with my toile dress. It looks great from the front and gives me the waist shape that I like.

I got this pattern as part of a buy 2 get 1 free sale, and I can't believe I overlooked it. It's cute, comfy, and really hits the "nice but not dressy" sweet spot. I got compliments literally in the first *minute* I wore this in public.

I made this in 12CD, grading to 14 at the hip. I used a rayon knit with a lot of vertical drag, so it fits more tightly than designed, but I like it that way. I have large biceps, and the sleeves are very fitted (not loose like the photo), but not binding at all. I was able to predict that from the finished garment measurements and my garment's stretch percentage, but it would have been helpful if that was included in the body measurements as well.

My only mod was to skip the side slits. I sewed them closed to make pressing easier, and decided I didn't need them after all.

I definitely plan to make this again. Next up is a longer-sleeved version in a print for the fall. I could also see versions with a v-neck, in a sweater knit, or as a top with shorter ties.

The only reason I'm not giving it 4 stars is that the neck binding instructions could have been clearer. I had some trouble figuring out how many times to fold and how far to fold in steps 3-5.

I made this pattern in a medium weight sweater knit and the fit is so comfortable but cute. It’s a secret pajama pattern for me. I forgot to lengthen my sleeves on the pattern so I added cuffs and a hem band for a complimentary look. It one of my favorite dresses now!

I made the Pembroke in a lovely soft bamboo knit; it gets so many compliments every time I wear it! Somehow, Cashmerette managed to elevate a simple t-shirt dress into something nicer, yet keep it easy to sew. This dress is perfect for videoconference calls in this work-from-home more casual than usual era, and when life returns to normal, it'll be a running errand, brunch with friends, grab-and-go casual nice garment. It was easy to sew, and not having to do an FBA is positively swoon-worthy! This was my first Cashmerette pattern, but it won't be my last - I'm actually in the process of laying out something else, and already planning a French terry version of the Pembroke, with long sleeves and the cowl (just not sure if it'll be the tunic or a dress, in this work from home world).

Sewed this pattern four times already, I love the look, very comfy! Easy and quick to sew. Perfect pattern, typically Cashmerette, 😊!

Have made a couple of these teally simple and easy pattern

I love the fit of this pattern and how it is so easy to adapt by changing sleeve and dress length and neckline style. And you can make a version for all seasons. Thank you!

I love this dress and tunic pattern. The dress is great in stripe cotton jersey for the summer or wool jersey for the winter. Never fails to gather compliments. So comfortable to wear and easy to make. The tunic is great made in wool jersey for the winter. Keeps you snug and warm but oh so comfy. A great go to pattern to have.

This pattern has quickly become my go-to top pattern. It’s a quick and easy sew (especially if you make the turtleneck version and don’t need to sew a neck binding), but it fits beautifully. The instructions are easy to follow, and the split hem and (optional) waist tie are a nice touch that make it feel a little fancier that a t-shirt dress without being fussy. It works with so many types of knit fabrics - a tee shirt in jersey, a long-sleeved tunic in French terry, a cosy turtleneck dress in a thick quilted knit. The Pembroke has become a staple in my wardrobe for all seasons.

Loved the ease of the pattern, but used the Upton pattern to add a square neckline.

I made this dress while pregnant, using the nursing expansion so that I could still wear it after baby came. It was a quick and easy make, directions were clear, and minimal adjustments were needed. I had a tough time with the neckline, but I'm certain it's because I didn't match up markings as I should have, therefore it was my own fault! I should have followed the instructions instead of assuming I just knew what to do. I love this dress and I will definitely make more.

I’m completely in love….this was a breeze to sew…and the best part is that the pattern is made for curves.

An easy make. Beautiful neckline and cuffed sleeve. The ties are okay, but I’m not a huge fan. The dress certainly needs them for shape, but I’m undecided on tying them in front or back. They have a tendency to get in my way, but wouldn’t look right if cut shorter.

I loved this pattern, it was super easy to follow. I made the tunic with the scooped neckline, and have already got plans for my next one!

I bought the Pembroke to try out Cashmerette and love it. I made it shorter, as a basic long-sleeved shirt and following the size calculator, the fit was great. I have made several in sweatshirt-weight fabrics and they are so comfortable, yet easy to dress up with a scarf. I've also modified it to a quarter-zip top. The directions are clear and make it easy - I love the booklet format of them. This will be a go-to pattern for me, for sure.

Cute dress pattern that is well drafted and true to size. Use the Cashmerette size calculator to get your size, I’ve found it very accurate. Instructions are easy to follow, however I’d prefer colour photos. Overall I’m very happy with the pattern and will definitely buy more from Cashmerette.

I’ve made two versions already, one with scoop next & short sleeves, and one with jewel neck & mid-length sleeves. This is one of those patterns that’s easily completed in one day (only took one afternoon for the second one), and the dress is super comfortable. I especially like how flattering the waist tie looks.

I've made two Pembroke dresses so far and I love them so much! They're perfect for looking put together while feeling super comfortable. I made the first one in a bamboo/spandex jersey and the second in a viscose/poly rib knit. They're really different but I love them both!

I found this pattern easy to use. I would have liked pockets on the pattern as a Mum generally needs a place to put stuff. I followed a pattern hack for another dress and added pockets. However, the most important part was the access for nursing and the overlay. They were great! I would make this again.

Just finished the Pembroke dress with short sleeves and scoop neck. I made a straight size 16 C-D with no modifications except shorter length. (Knee length looks better on me than midi. ) It fits very well - actually roomier than I expected. My only comment is that the neckband would have been better about an inch shorter to draw in the neckline a bit more. I used a hot pink Liverpool brocade, and the dress fills my need for a semi-formal cocktail dress. As in all the Cashmerette patterns I have made, the pattern is well-drafted and very quick and easy to sew. I really appreciate your excellent customer service!

What a refreshing experience! I picked a size based on my measurements, cut & sewed it exactly as designed, and IT FIT! I bought a couple more of Cashmerette's patterns afterward, and I'm actually excited to start making them, rather than anxious over what fitting nightmare awaits me. Thanks Jenny & crew for making patterns that keep the joy in sewing!

The Pembroke dress and tunic patten is so comfy and easy to make it’s almost too good to be true! The dress has many color blocking options and always looks good. The tunic is flattering and super comfortable. The pattern is fairly simple, easy to understand and construct. When I want something new and comfy in a dress, this is my go-to pattern. Highly recommend.
