Wow!!! An exceptional pattern with gorgeous finishes. I love the scoop neckline, and the gathered waist make this dress very flattering. The flowy skirt skims over the hips and the lantern sleeves and high-low hemline really elevates this dress into something special. A new favourite in my wardrobe.
Katie Weatherly –
I love this dress. I can see myself wearing this all spring and summer long.
Tiffany Amos –
I love this dress . The only thing i would change is next one I will add the beautiful sleeve option and I would also go down one size for a closer fit . This dress is perfect for spring and summer and I have already ordered new fabric for my next lantern dress .

Doing the Hong Kong seam binding was initially really intimidating, but the instructions made it simple

I think the hardest part of this easy pattern was turning the button loop tube inside out! Seriously, it’s that easy.
I liked the nod to vintage style with the dress’s slim-fit skirt and blouson top. Lantern sleeves, short sleeves, or sleeveless options are available. The back keyhole neckline adds interest and the subtle high-low hem brings it into the 21st century!
I suggest using a fabric with a good amount of drape, such as rayon challis, to make the most flattering dress bodice. Quilting cottons can be a bit too stiff to drape well and may not be quite as flattering. There is a lot of ease in the waist area of the bodice especially, and with the right fabric, this dress can be quite forgiving and quite flattering to wear.

The silhouette of this dress has got to be one of my favorites! The skirt moves wonderfully while still showing body shape in a flattering way. I made some changes to this pattern when I sewed it, mainly to break it into a crop top and skirt combo, and the instructions were still wonderfully helpful. I will absolutely be making more of these dresses as it is one of the most flattering maxi dresses I’ve found in a long time!
Linda Berendsen –
This is a lovely pattern, I really like the flow of it. The lantern sleeve gives the this dress such a fancy look. The instructions are great, as usual. Even the welt pockets are explained in detail! I love the shape of this dress, I feel beautiful in it! A perfect spring,/summer dress for me!

The Lantern Sleeve dress is the ultimate feminine dress. It is billowy, shapely and lovely in the details. Depending on your fabric choice it can be fantastic for spring or dramatic for fall and winter. This is a definite must have.

A glamorous dress! Love the sleeves, and the way the deep drill balances them out.
Sandy Simpson –
“What a wonderful pattern. Everything came together beautifully. This dress can be dressed up with heels and jewelry or worn with a pair of sandals or sneakers for a more casual look.
The sleeves and ruffle make it incredibly feminine and the cut of the skirt in particular make the silhouette very flattering.
There will be more of these dresses in my wardrobe.”

Pattern was easy to follow. Definitely more advanced than what I would normally do. However it challenged me to step outside my comfort zone. I did find that the sleeve holes are snug even cutting on the correct line for the sleeves options. I will definitely make it again in the future when my level is more advanced.
