      Overall a great pattern
    Reviewed by KAREN FUHRMAN ( Verified Buyer) on 10/02/2021
    I am 5’ tall and busty. I used to sew my clothes but a busy nursing career, children and grandkids took up my time and energy. I am now getting back into sewing my clothes. And the fitting problems with RTW clothing was always so frustrating. But with this pattern the adjustments were easy to make (thank you Liesl)and the dress came together perfectly. I used a black Jersey knit and loved the results. I love the fact that the fashion element at the waist looks complicated but came together easily with very clear instructions. I will make this dress again and would love to try it in a print.

      Quick sew
    Reviewed by Marine ( Verified Buyer) on 08/03/2021
    I made this dress for summer vacation in a tencel jersey and it turn out really nice. The instructions and drawing are clear, I didn't have any trouble understanding them. I don't recommend this pattern for beginner though, as the tie is quite hard to sew to the bodice (I had to finish by hand on 1 centimeter ^^"). For the size, I had to go down one size for the top and there is still plenty of room (I'm thinking about doing a narrow shoulder ajustement for the next one, something I've never had to do before on a pattern), while the skirt is very fitted on me. I recommend checking the size chart for the finished garment ! Overall I'm very happy about this dress and I'm going to make another one for winter !

      Came together quickly and looks great
    Reviewed by Suzanne Hogan ( Verified Buyer) on 03/10/2021
    I ordered the print pattern and it came within a week. I prefer printed patterns. Instructions were easy to follow and the garment came together more quickly than I anticipated! The fit was flattering. I did need to make some adjustments to the skirt back (upped another 2 sizes) for my personal fitting needs. I also used this pattern to make a blouse and it turned out beautifully.

      Great pattern - even for a novice
    Reviewed by Sue ( Verified Buyer) on 09/10/2020
    I am brand new to sewing. The Belgravia dress was my second ever sewing pattern in my adult life (right after the Oliver & S Bedtime Story PJs). I followed the directions carefully using a jersey knit fabric. Before I started, I had no idea that knits could be difficult to sew. I used a straight stitch for the whole project, gently stretching the fabric as I went as indicated in the directions. It turned out really well and I had no trouble with the fabric or sewing machine. The dress is comfortable and stylish. It's also very easy to blend sizes. This pattern really helped build my confidence and I'm now pursuing more complicated projects.

      Sophisticated Look with Easy Sewing
    Reviewed by Greema Ezrati ( Verified Buyer) on 06/08/2020
    I love this pattern. I had tried on a RTW dress similar to this and had been looking for a similar pattern. The Belgravia dress hit all the marks. The look is sophisticated and the sewing is easy. I made the first dress in a cotton knit. I'm going to try a stretch velvet for my next dress for a party look.

      Fabulous fit, interesting design
    Reviewed by Nicole ( Verified Buyer) on 05/18/2020
    What a great pattern! It came together super fast, with an interesting design and good fit. I eliminated the front slit, instead widening the skirt to more of an a-line. I will definitely make this again!
