Step by step clear instruction, very easy to follow. simple beautiful top!
I made version A, it was the first pattern I tired & so I’m very proud of the outcome, it’s a lovely pattern but being my first I don’t think I would have been able to finish it following the instructions only (I followed a sew along video on YouTube by Sewing Lab) this could be because I’m fairly new to sewing and this is a 3/5 skill & I don’t have much knowledge of basic construction especially the placket, and neckline binding was completely new to me and I couldn’t understand how it worked without the very clear and detailed video by “Sewing Lab”
In short I love the dress, will probably make a different version down the line again but I agree skill level is 3/5 so I found it a little confusing for my level.
Thank you MN for a very easy to follow pattern. Instructions were excellent as were the tutorials.
I used red fabric in pockets and binding. Still may put a red bow on back. I followed tutorial and put darts on the back bodice. Enjoyable make. ✅✅✅
The whole tutorial library has been a great help while I've been sewing, but raised neckline hack made all the difference between a dress that I'll wear all the time and something that just takes up space in my closet. It took a few mock-ups but I adjusted the Darling Ranges and now it's perfect!
Very clear instructions and came together nicely. I made view A and can't wait to try view B.
I was terrified for a while to make this due to the buttons, but after finally making it, the buttons aren’t that bad. Because there’s so many buttons I feel really comfortable after a few! I’m tall and most of the dresses I’ve made myself tend to make me feel wider than I am. I started with view C with a silky printed rayon and it fit right away. Its perfect for summer! I’m now working on view A and I know I’m not going to stop there. I love love love this pattern; Thank you MN!
