      very nice pattern
    Reviewed by Sarah Burton ( Verified Buyer) on 07/10/2015
    This pattern is very well written and professionally done. Good instructions and easy to follow. One problem I had was that the sides of the bodice did not match up. The side of the back was longer than the side of the front. This made it difficult to attach the skirt, because there was very little room between the bottom buttons of the front placket and the second allowance for the skirt. I ended up shortening the back bodice so they would match up. Over all, the dress turned out fine, and fits very well.

    This was my first Oliver + S pattern, and I couldn't have been more pleased with the results. I am relatively new to sewing, but the dress turned out adorable despite my many rookie mistakes--a testimony to the quality of the pattern and the clarity of the instructions. I also greatly appreciated the related discussion board and tutorials. I am already trying to decide which pattern to purchase next!
