Thank you for the kind words! I aim for everything to be as user friendly as possible so sewists like us can get right to the fun part, the sewing!!! Can’t wait to see how it comes together :)

Quirky Cat, this looks fantastic!!! So glad you found my pattern beginner-friendly and sped right through it. Love your use of gingham! (a favorite of mine, too)

Great work Maggie! I LOVE what you’ve done with the dress in this fun color and it makes me smile to see you’ve enjoyed it enough to make TWO! I have found as well that fabric requirements can sometimes be a bit more of an art than a science, and do vary, but I try my best with the estimates I include. Thanks for sharing the pics and can’t wait to see Affogato #3 :)

So nice of you to say, Martine! Happy to hear you found the pattern easy and enjoyable, and I’m glad your first Affogato dress will soon be kept company by many more :)

So kind of you to say, Linda! Always thrilled to hear when a sewist finds the pattern clear and doable and honored to hear that you’ll be coming back to sew more :)

That’s so exciting Shannon! Happy to hear it was as fun to wear as part of a costume as it is for everyday wear. Share pics if you can! happy sewing!

So glad your sewing of the Affogato was a success! Indeed this pattern can take a high volume of fabric to achieve the full puffed sleeve look (or longer skirt lengths) so for anyone on the fence, we’ve included the “Fabric Requirements” page to the product photos above. Thanks for the recommendation and happy sewing!

So nice of you to say, Emma! I’m thrilled that the affogato could fill a gap in your dress collection.

What a wonderful job you did customizing your dress, Tessa! I’m glad you found the instructions easy to follow and had fun with your darts and cuff options. It’s important to me that finding the right length is doable for every size and build, because there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to skirts! The fabric requirements chart (as seen in the product photos above) has options for both 57” and 45” because us sewists just never know what width our new fav fabric is going to come in. I can see from your photo you picked a great fabric and I’m thankful the affogato could be part of your sewing journey :)

Thanks for the kind words, Angela! I hope you find that the care and attention to detail in the instructions and pattern files makes this dress a fun and easy sew. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
