Brilliantly written and visual instructions made this a super easy make! It is perfect for a summer dress in any fabric! I do highly recommend using washaway tape with knits for hems. I’m 5’3″ and left the length as drafted (for 5’6″) the length is perfect for me.my only downside is I need to shorten the elastic in the centre back dramatically as its gaping away from my body. I actually suspect I could size down, but I sewed to my measurements, 35″ upper bust, 39″ full bust and 34″ waist
Kelly Tuttle –
I love this dress! The tie back detail is so pretty and also unique- I haven’t seen anything like this in RTW. It was also very easy to sew- nothing complicated and even with tons of interruptions from my kids I finished it in 1 afternoon.
Terri Pettigrew –
This pattern was so quick and easy it was amazing. I love this breezy dress. Perfect for a hot summer day when you want to be hotter than the sun.
Deborah Kraft –
This looked really difficult but was so easy. Great explanations, wonderful step by step instructions and a really beautiful finished garment for me 🙂
Lisa Giorcelli –
This is such a gorgeous dress! The tie detail in the back and the way the bodice fits are so flattering and cute!
Roeshell Arjin McNelis –
i LOVEEEEE LOVEE this pattern. I love the final product, and i love how easy it was to do!!! I’m going to be making more of these.
Bunford Orsi –
My new lovely summer dress! Love the open back! It’s super comfortable to wear
Heather Luben –
It’s not often that I love a dress the first time I make it, but this one, WOW! I used a DBP and I love how it looks and feels! The cut is flattering, the back details interesting, and the lines are still modest. It feels very summery and light, and I”m already lining up fabrics to make a whole wardrobe full for the summer!
Angel Pooley –
Great make!! With a few techniques I’d never tried before but the instructions were perfect and walked be straight through it. Thank you again RP!
Mary Acosta –
Made for my daughter and she loved it. will be making her more
Samantha Goldberg –
This is super easy to dress up or dress down. It really is the ideal summer woven kids dress and I am already eyeing prints to make a knit version.
Diane Cullum –
I love this dress! The back is so unique and the fit is perfect! And very surprising, it was quick to sew too! I did add under- stitching to the bodice to help keep the lining from peeking out. The 1/2″ fold over on the back wasn’t quite wide enough for the straps, so I’ll fold it over a little more when I sew it again.
Frauke Schiller –
I love the look of the dress, because it is not one of those summer dresses you see everywhere. The sewing of the skirt is quite easy, but in my opinion the way to fix the bodice and the skirt is not the best solution, it is more or less not possible to bring them together properly. Anyhow, it is great to have different lengths and that one can choose between woven and knitted fabric. Definitely a pattern I will keep in mind for another summer dress sew for me and my daughter!
Sarai Orama –
Great sew if you want options for both knit and woven fabrics! Lovely silhouette with such a great detail in the tie back! Easy instructions!
Adelle Pears –
This is such a lovely flattering summer dress, there are a couple of challenging parts to the make but as usual the RP instructions walk you through it brilliantly and it comes together quite quickly. The only frustrating part was having to leave it to hang until I could hem it because I wanted to wear it so much!
Genevieve Lynne Grossmann –
This is a lovely sew. The burrito roll for the skirt can be tricky, if you have never done this before but this instructions are great. The end garment is fun and very trendy.
Kelle Lujan –
I love this little dress! The style is so classic and the sewing is so quick. I love that the pattern is designed for both knits and wovens. I made a woven version out of a lightweight rayon and, even with the extra time for french seams, completed the whole dress in just a couple hours. Instructions were clear and easy to follow. My oldest daughter has put in a request as she’s a little jealous of little sister’s new swim coverup. And I won’t lie, I’m a little jealous too!
Frances Tildrn –
What a wonderfully light and breezy dress. It will be perfect for the hot, humid days of summer.
Connie Lusto –
I ADORE this dress. The ties allow for a custom fit that looks incredibly polished and tailored, and the design is extremely flattering. I absolutely love the finishing techniques always included in Rebecca Page patterns, and this one was no different with no visible raw edges inside or out. I also love the versatility of this pattern with the different length options and the ability to make it in either knit or woven!
Carmen Brent –
This fun summery dress makes me think of the beach. It looks very intricate with the ties and cutout in the back, but the instructions are easy to follow. You can even wear the ties straight down or criss-crossed. I love it!
Malia Pope –
I absolutely love this dress! Easy pattern to follow and the cut of the skirt is perfect in the maxi length, nice drape and volume without being too full. Made my first one in a jersey knit but already have a second cut out in a woven rayon.
Lauri Meinhardt –
This is a beautiful dress. I sewed this up in a lemon printed knit fabric and received so many compliments. Check the stretch of your knit, with the knit I used I could have sized down. I’ve received many compliments, and it’s an easy sew, with a lined bodice, and bodice darts. The pattern is easy to follow with great instructions as usual for RP patterns!
Luana Furlanetto –
This is a fairly quick sew. I love that this pattern works for both knit and woven. I used a 2 way knit that I always struggle using otherwise and I really like the result!
Chiara Kruse –
The perfect dress for a summer getaway! The skirt has great twirl, the bodice has a very flattering neckline, and the back is simply stunning. It was a very enjoyable sew where the hardest part is picking which fabric to use!
Chiara Kruse –
My daughter adores her tie back dress!! She loves the twirl factor and had to wear it immediately. I can see this pattern being a summer staple for years to come!
Donna Lowe –
This is a great pattern. It is simple to make and great for the summer weather. I made three of them.
