Britteny’s right. The darts don’t start until the size 2T. Below that they’re left out ’cause most toddlers have bellies bigger than their chests.
I’d start with the 18-24m size and cut the lining fabric (assuming it’s a cotton voile or something not too fancy) and use that as a muslin. Baste it and if it fits then there’s your lining already cut.

Thank you so much for compiling all the line drawings and sharing them, Lotta! You’re awesome!

Is that for AUS?
Thank you so much you absolute darling!

I know Sarvi I was surprised too. I think possibly, and Todd may confirm this, that it still sells well but in digital format. I wasn’t actually asking for me but for a friend who prefers paper. I actually prefer digital downloads myself as Oliver + S patterns are not easy to get in the UK. Other than a few places online there are very few bricks…[Read more]

I’m so surprised this one didn’t have the needed sales for another print run! This seems like everybody’s go-to fancy dress pattern.

Fantastic idea!! Can’t wait to share with the nieces {although it may be used for more “coloring”, than designing….initially}!

This is going to make such a fantastic mom/kid project, thank you! LOTTA, YOU’RE BRILLIANT!

Exactly @meleliza, I admire the skill involved and the time taken to do this. I tend to hand ball (this sort of thing) to Hugo as I am complete dunderhead when it comes to computers.

I found an hour to start Tildy’s velvet Field Trip cargoes. I cut the size 18-24 mnth with the length of the 5. The back leg is great but I have ended up with a too short front leg, I must have not got my measurements quite right. It is not a biggie though, I can add a wee panel to the bottom front leg as it will work with the existing panels.

Lotta, thank you so very much. You are clever.

This is soooo great Lotta! I’m downloading as we speak. Thank you so much xx

Thank you Todd, that makes perfect sense.

The Fairy Tale dress, in the small size range only, has indeed gone out of print. It’s still available as a digital pattern. As is always the case, when we near the end of our stock on an item we evaluate sales and determine if there is justification to do a reprint. This pattern wasn’t selling at the level required to maintain it in paper.

I don’t believe it’s out of print? Here’s the link to the paper version: http://oliverands.com/oliver-and-s-patterns-dresses/OLV-OS036FT.html

Heidi its expensive and slow as a wet week! I ordered some miracle blankets and I swear they are walking them across the Nullabor still! They were sent ofer a week ago from NSW.

I managed to sew for an hour last night and again today. I didn’t get a heap done though – just a lot of fiddling and procastinating. I managed to cut and sew neck and…[Read more]
