      Another Perfect Pattern!
    Reviewed by Sally Lippitt Houston ( Verified Buyer) on 04/09/2019
    Another incredibly adaptable pattern from Oliver & S! My grand girls are getting a little older and want more choice in their dress patterns and the material. This one was a hit with all 3, only indecision was the exact fabric to use! Too many choices!

      Lovely pattern with great options.
    Reviewed by Vivian Katz ( Verified Buyer) on 02/21/2018
    I made this in a light cotton twill due to a request from my granddaughter, who wanted a dress with buttons down the front, ruffles, pockets, twirly and with long sleeves since it is winter. Well, she is a sensitive skinned child and can't handle a lot of seams across her and does better in knits, but she also specified the fabric, Mike the Tiger, which I could only find in a twill. For her dress I made view B and extended the sides out from the armscye seam to about 12 inches on either side at the hem, to make it fuller (twirly). I made the placket, collar and pocket lining in white and added a yellow ruffle to the flap of the pocket and the collar, and it filled all the requests. The pattern directions were very easy to execute, and the exact markings are a necessity to create a nice placket. I highly recommend this pattern.

      Jump Rope Dress - Great pattern!
    Reviewed by Stacey ( Verified Buyer) on 08/27/2017
    Very clear directions, as always with Oliver + S patterns. Learned new technique for creating the placket and it turned out perfect! Will definitely be making many more since my girl is only into dresses these days.

      Spot on, as usual
    Reviewed by Katia ( Verified Buyer) on 04/06/2017
    The pattern is exquisitely drafted and you learn so many new techniques, that it is always a good investment to buy and O+S pattern. If anything, I would lift the waist around 2 inches, but I guess it is a question of personal taste. Highly recommended, a girly but not too girly design.

      Came together in a pinch, easy to customize
    Reviewed by Palmetto210 ( Verified Buyer) on 12/01/2015
    Copying Rachel's idea for my 10-year old's costume, I used the digital pattern in a pinch. It came together well, though next time, I'll drive across town and buy the paper version. The O+S papers feel better, and help me visually put the pieces together. I was thankful for the digital convenience with only three days to sew! My lean 10-year old did squeeze into the size 8. It would be great if this pattern went up to a 12.

    Overall, I enjoyed sewing this garment. The collar was beautifully crisp, and my 10-year old was beyond thrilled to wear her midwife costume!

      Wonderful, detailed directions
    Reviewed by Katie ( Verified Buyer) on 10/07/2015
    I made this dress for my 5yo daughter. She is long and lean, so I made the size 6 to get the length to fit and she has a little room to grow into it. I made view A with view B sleeves. I was a little intimidated by the 3 scissor rating as I am just recently getting more into sewing clothing. I'd never before sewn a button placket and button holes themselves had not been my friend in the past. The directions are so clear and well written and detailed, it turned out beautifully as long as I went slowly and made sure to understand exactly what the directions were saying before I began each step. Very happy with this pattern and will likely make again.

      Christmas Jump Rope Dress
    Reviewed by Max on 01/19/2015
    This pattern is wonderful. I made view B and I love the cute gathered pockets. It was one of the more time consuming dresses I have made, but I do like tha fact that each step is explained in detail. I made two dresses the same, two daughters, you know, so I have two chances to practice my new skills.

    This pattern is darling but I did not like having to purchase it digitally. I'm still piecing the pieces together and some did not print out plus it uses lots of paper and ink. I do t like digital patterns.

      The Perfect Dress
    Reviewed by Nicole on 09/17/2013
    The nicest girls dress you will ever make. This was my very first Oliver+S pattern and it was love at first sew. The classic placket front is splendidly explained and makes the construction perfectly straight forward. The tailored design lends itself beautifully to a school uniform. http://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/5481520682/in/set-72157625264790776 Once again it is a style that works equally well on a young child to an older girl. http://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/4985796734/in/set-72157625264790776 The neck opening can be a bit snug on a toddler so do check that on the smaller sizes if you think that may be an issue. I have used this pattern many times and will be sewing school tunics for my youngest with it again soon. A very special dress pattern. Enjoy!

    Oh how I love the jump rope pattern. I have to admit, I owned it long before I made it because I was afraid of the placket. How silly I was, the instructions were amazing and I was extremely proud when I finished. I highly recommend this one, in fact, just thinking about it makes me want to go make another...

      One of my all time favorites!
    Reviewed by SarahB on 07/05/2013
    The Jump Rope pattern is one of my very favorites and I've made over and over. It's such a classy fit! Views A and B can give such a different look, and playing with contrast plackets or stitching really creates a dress tailor made for your special girl. The placket and collar instructions are excellent and such a confidence builder!
