My Appleton

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

Appleton dress

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

The Appleton Dress is Amazing

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

Lovely wrap dress

This dress was easy to make. The instructions are clear.
