Beautiful and easy!Reviewed by Julia (✓ Verified Buyer) on 05/15/2024Instructions were very clear. I was glad I used lightweight linen, as the point in the neckline could be bulky otherwise. It feels great and looks great. I will say that if you want to minimize your hips, you might leave out the pockets, which gap open slightly in a relaxed way.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Stylish and comfortableReviewed by Anne (✓ Verified Buyer) on 01/03/2024This dress came together quickly and the result is a smart and comfortable dress. The collar gives polish and the gentle A line shape is flattering and easy to wear. Instructions are clear and, although some care and accuracy is needed on the collar, it is a straightforward project.10 of 10 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?From the Discussion Forums
