I Have lots of experience with sewing. This pattern was a disaster. I Had to make so many modifications once I cut it out, I’m tempted to believe the creator didn’t test all sizes. Sad.

I added darts to the neckline, still it’ts huge. I inserted a 4” waist inverted pleat tAnd now the armholes are just begging for darts so the entirety of my bra is not publicly visible.

Easiest and best pattern / instructions ever. This is only like the 4th or 5th thing I have ever sewn and I adore my new dress. Thank you so much Hems!

I purchased this pattern and chose to have it printed by an online company as I don't have access to a printer. I downloaded the files to my laptop which subsequently died due to water damage and now that I want to to make the dress in a different size (I cut in to my printed pattern and didn't trace it), I no longer have access to the pattern as the download link expired 30 days after purchase. Other downloaded patterns that I've purchased don't expire so it's disappointing that I no longer have access to the files and won't be able to make the same dress in a different size.

A great pattern for a beginner. Instructions were easy to follow and techniques simple enough for someone starting out. I made a few additions like a dart in the bust which was easy enough to figure out how to do on tik tok and added some extra length in the bodice. Don’t go for your regular dress size when cutting the pattern, make sure to take your measurements as the sizing is a bit off (ie. regular dress size 14 but used size 18/20 in the pattern)

This pattern is easy to download and print. I chose to send it to Staples to be printed on just two sheets so I could cut out whole pattern pieces. This dress will come together quickly!

The pattern is easy to follow I just had some difficulty with the sizing even though I used the size chart and double checked by measuring myself but this pattern is in up sizing and I am based in the us so I am going to blame my own human error.
