Great dress

I love this dress pattern although I did find that the bodice was short, but after a little adjustment it fitted great. I would definitely recommend making a muslin of the bodice to get the right fit. Instructions were easy to follow and I had lots of compliments about how nice it looks.

Excellent instructions, stylish and flattering design. I'm fit the advanced beginner description and I made something amazing! I'm definitely making more of these.

When you wish Upton a star!

If you’re curvy I’ll take guess that you’ve often wished you could sew up a dress without all the snipping and measuring an FBA involves - TahDah! Upton is that wish come true! It was so refreshing to practically sew straight from the pattern with only minor tweaks and not the usual wrestle with an fba and easing length here, moving darts there. I Love it! Fab instructions, lots of support, if needed, on website, FB page and curvy sewing community too. So many ways to style it, so versatile, I totally understand why it’s so well Loved. It’s a real Star!

Thumbs up for the Upton!

Special sized patterns are important. I recently found the Cashmerette Upton dress pattern with three different cup sizes, four different neckline options and four different sleeve options, including the original sleeveless version. First try following the excellent directions and I have a perfectly fitting wearable muslin. I made two changes on my muslin for the sake of time, first I left the zipper off and second, I gathered the skirt rather than pleating which makes three skirt options. What a great pattern, I now feel confident cutting into my Outback Wife merino wool-cotton fabric. I had literally spent days wading thru and researching patterns before I found this one. So glad I kept looking until I found what I wanted/needed. It will do my valuable fabric such justice. I will definitely be making the Upton again and again.
