Hi!

I have made the Tea Party Dress twice– each time it came out great. Attaching photos below. I really appreciate your notes in the pattern and the amount of detail you provide.

I am now making Option D, the Tea Party Play Suit. The pattern doesn’t list snap tape in the list of notions needed, so I wasn’t sure what kind to get. I purchased some (the only kind my fabric store stocks) in which the snaps are 1.5 inches apart. Apparently that is not the right kind, as three snaps won’t fit. I am guessing that 1.0 inches apart is what you intended? Thx for your response, and hopefully you can add this information to the pattern.

Hello, and I’m glad you’re enjoying the pattern! Honestly, I didn’t know that snap tape came with the snaps different widths apart! I’ve only seen and used one type. Another option would be to use individual snaps. Maybe that would work better in this instance?

Also, thank for calling my attention to the missing snap tape on the envelope. In the 18-ish years that the pattern has been out no one has mentioned it. I’ll make sure we fix that.
