I LOVE this dress! It’s feminine without being frilly or fussy. It’s also surprisingly easy to make. This is one of those patterns that I bought because I really liked the style, but then put off actually making. I thought it would be far more complicated than it was.
I used a linen blend fabric (washable) that I’ve had for a while and a solid purple lining. The only change I made to the pattern was to raise the neckline about 2″. After making the muslin, I decided that that would be a more comfortable neckline for me personally. Originally, the front and back neck are (I believe) about the same depth.
This is not only a great summer dress pattern, but has enough variations (including long sleeves) that it can be made all year.
Until next time… Happy sewing!
After looking at all the other pictures: I like your choice of fabrics and patterns. They all look good on you! Congratulations!

Looking good! I made this with less volume in the still full skirt, plus the usual shoulder adjustments, and enjoy wearing it.
It's PERFECT! It fits beautifully and I love the fabric!
