I first saw this pattern when it came out and i thought..yes ! definitely something i will make and that time i was inexperience in sewing.I ended up making two of them and just fell in love with it ! the pattern is easy enough for the beginners.Absolutely adorable dress for summer since i live in Thailand so it is hot here all year long.I made shorter one to wear with leggings as well..cute cute dress.

Hi there! I am working on a muslin version of this dress and am stumped on attaching the Front Yolk to the dress… thank you for the pictures, but i do have one more question. Do I need to make the shoulder straps of the dress “conform” or follow the shape of the yolk, or vice-versa? (Pardon the wording, I just turned the sewing machine on for the first time EVER two weeks ago) It’s difficult to tell what to do when all I see is it doesn’t want to meet uniformly. I hope that makes sense! Thanks for any help

I love the fabric you choose! I have been considering this pattern because it looked simple. You review is very helpful & points out many of the things that would likely having me give up mid project! I think after reading this I will probably pass because I have to do a FBA as it is & it sounds like just way to much fussing. Even though it may not be your usual style, your dress turned out awesome!

Great pattern review! I LOVE this dress! Its so cute and I love the idea of adding a belt! I think it would also look really cute as a tunic!! I’m going to have to try this one for a fun, flirty summer dress!
