A lovely easy pattern to sew the different sleeve options make it quite versatile and it would work well in a wide variety of fabrics.

I would consider this an intermediate pattern based on the sewing techniques and number of pattern pieces. I would like to see slightly better zipper patterns and a better way to grade the arm cycle to fit the bicep size. I also would like to see the bicep measurements on every pattern especially for curvy patterns. Some of us have much larger arms. Otherwise good pattern.

Joelene Montgomery –
This was a fun dress to sew! The only thing I would change is offering other necklines, this is too high for me so I will be giving it away 🙂
Deb Holland –
Was a simple pattern to sew, love the look of the pleats
Monica Rennicker –
Relatively easy to sew. It has many variations so you could make the same pattern with different looks each time.
Vera Bering –
I love this dress, it can be both casual and dressy. I gathered the skirt rather than pleated as a hack, I see myself making this dress again and again. I picture it with the Kingston jacket for a lovely spring evening soon!
Jori Cornand –
Very beautiful dress 😍 it helps you practice many technics
Anna Reshetylo –
I absolutely love this dress, it is one you can dress up with heels or dress down with a cozy sweater and boots. The pockets are easy to install and who doesn’t love a dress with pockets! I had to do a full height adjustment since I am around 6ft tall but other than that it was easy to follow directions. I will definitely be making this one again.
