5 out of 5 starsAmazing pattern! My middle schooler needed a custom dress for a Halloween costume, and she sewed for the first time ever successfully and with great results using this pattern. It is thoughtfully laid out with detailed/foolproof instructions, including how to print it and put together. I'm a novice at sewing and my daughter has never sewn, but we had no issues making this dress. Before this pattern, I made the mistake of purchasing a cheaper pattern from a different seller that turned out to be AI slop. This pattern is the real deal, highly recommend!

5 out of 5 starsIf I could I would give 12/5 stars. This pattern is a dream come true. With the layered PDF & print without margins (chefs kiss 👌) the printing, assembling and cutting of the pattern only took me 30'. I made one for my friend with only her measurements of bust and waist and it fit her like a glove. It turned out so beautifuly infact - I spontaneously made one for myself. I used stretch fabric for mine and supportet the hemline with strong fusable interfacing. In both dresses I reduced the center front and back seam by the seam allowance and cut the fabric on the fold (Fabric width of 150cm for size 6&8). For my friends woven fabric dress I placed the zipper in the side seam, with the stretch fabric I did not need one. I love how pretty the fabric falls, even arround my very round pregnant belly (see pic) 🥰

thank you so much for this comment 💐I love the idea of making it in a stretch fabric as a maternity dress, wish I’d made one for myself! yours is beautiful.

Sizing details
All sizing details are available in the booklets or on frenchpoetry.com, complete with body measurements and finished garments measurements (the format of listings doesn't allow tables here, so it would be difficult to display these informations).
Seam allowance
A 5/8'' (1.5cm) seam allowance is included. Why this specific width? Because it is the most common and easy for beginners. I did several votes over the years and the majority of customers always voted to keep it :)
