Great pattern, fun to sewReviewed by Wanda (✓ Verified Buyer) on 08/22/2018I have made 2 of these dresses for my great nieces. As I have come to expect from O&S, the directions are so clear and the pattern so well designed that it was a pleasure to sew.Was this helpful?SundressReviewed by Jo (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/29/2018Easy to follow pattern and looked gorgeous made up.i made a few of these and used different co-ordinating fabrics for the diff panels and pockets for our local Hospice shop. Thank youWas this helpful?Cute patternReviewed by Eleanor (✓ Verified Buyer) on 06/19/2016I made this dress for a friend's daughter and am making a larger size now. I'm in between the 1 and 2 scissor skill level, so a pretty beginner sewer still. I found the instructions very clear and appreciated all of the details that make the dress look so professional. My friend found that the pattern runs a little small - I sewed the 18-24 month size for her daughter's birthday and she outgrew it before she turned 18 months, despite just starting to fit in to commercial 18 month clothes right at 18 months.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Great instructionsReviewed by Kathy Neal (✓ Verified Buyer) on 02/01/2016This was a great pattern. It went together perfectly and looks super cute on my grand daughter.Was this helpful?Love it..Reviewed by Alison (✓ Verified Buyer) on 09/30/2015Making this dress was a very enjoyable experience. The pattern and instructions are clear and easy to understand and the finished garment is just beautiful.Was this helpful?Pretty DressReviewed by Bärbel (✓ Verified Buyer) on 07/26/2015Hello,
Sorry, I can't good write English.
I like this dress. One of my blogger friends has sewn it some times and she's excited about all your patterns.
I trust in her opinion and hope I'll find time to sew it for my grandchild.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Love the seashore sundress x 2Reviewed by Jackie D on 05/21/2015I am making this dress out of Cinderberry's Maya mermaid fabric, with pink piping, for my two granddaughters. They are so excited to be able to wear these to the beach (as is their mom and ME!).Was this helpful?Lovely adaptable patteernReviewed by Kathleen H on 05/16/2015I really enjoyed using this pattern and my three granddaughters are really enjoying wearing their new dresses. It's a style that lends itself easily to 2 co-ordinating fabrics as different panels can be cut in matching fabrics or the skirt can be in s contrasting fabric. It was also useful to learn how to do pockets and good practice for button holes. Learn as you sew and experiment a little.Was this helpful?Super patternReviewed by Emma on 05/08/2015The instructions on this were so easy to follow, I was able to make this dress easily in just a few sittings and it looks amazing. I learned how to do princess seams and pockets for the first time. I really recommend this pattern, and my daughter loves her finished dress. The only slight thing I would change next time I make the dress is the length - it is a little short on my daughter, but she prefers to wear her dresses with leggings anyway.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?She wants me to make her another one!Reviewed by Kristi on 05/07/2015And I can make that happen with the greatest of ease. This is a wonderful pattern for a novice like me. Quick and easy but the results are absolutely fabulous.Was this helpful?Great!Reviewed by Laia on 04/11/2015It's a beatiful and easy to sew dress, I've already sewn 2 of them! The only point could be that it's quite a strech model, and if youre girl is not thin, you should go for a bigger size and shorten the bodice part (easy!)! Thanks O+S! I had a great time and my girl loves them!!1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful? -
