Our testers always do such a great job of checking the details of our patterns just before they go to print to make sure I didn’t miss something or to tell me if I need to clarify steps, and it’s a treat to see what fabrics they choose and how they style the patterns. Here are some of the Positano Blouse + Dress patterns<\/a> they sewed. Let’s dive in.<\/p>\n

Kari chose this fantastic floral for her test of View B, the dress. I think this just might be the perfect summer dress for her, do you agree? Those sandals!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love Shelley’s dress, too, and she actually got to wear it for the Australian summer, so it works out to be in the southern hemisphere when you’re testing for us! Also, more great shoes, no?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Allison sewed this one for her daughter, and I love the trim she added to the sleeve!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Maria chose this gorgeous violet-purple lightweight crepe for View A, and she said she’s really excited about the long sleeves for summer sun protection and for travel to countries where move coverage is a concern. I think it’s awfully cute on her.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jeanne always finds amazing fabrics, and this one is no exception. Caroline mentioned that she loves how this pattern fits through the shoulders, and of course I love the navy on her!<\/p>\n
