    Matilda dress view B

    Perfect fit I made using end garment measurement with material which had slightly less stretch than recommended I made view B and added short sleeves. It is a perfect fit and a very quick sew with excellent instructions I will definitely make this often

    Paisley Polka Dot Matilda

    The dress is flattering with many options to customize. I made size 8, and added .25 inch on side seams for both bodice and skirt. Instructions are very clear and sew along is very helpful. Instead of buttons, I liked better concealed closure look so I used sew in snaps. Next time I will adjust pattern so right placket will have inside strip so the button holes will be invisible from the outside. My next Matilda will be solid, linen in raspberry.
