      GIRL ON THE GO DRESS
    Reviewed by Shirley Forsberg ( Verified Buyer) on 09/19/2021
    Simple pattern, goes together easily. Markings and notches correspond, directions are clear. Next time I make this dress I will probably use a Ponte knit with more structure. The jersey that I used could have used a sheer interfacing in the ties. I haven't given it to my niece so I don't know if it will fit although it was made according to the measurements.

    Loved the pattern. So easy to sew. I have four granddaughters and have sewn this dress and the shirt several times. It is a fashion the older girls enjoy and will wear. Loved it!

    Lovely result, straightforward pattern, not many pieces to cut out, great clear instructions. What's not to like! I particularly liked the ability to select just a specific size to be printed out - definitely made the step of cutting and assembling the PDF pattern more straightforward.

      great dress!
    Reviewed by Michelle on 04/17/2018
    This is a terrific pattern that has already received lots of use - the top is a great basic, quick to make, and the dress was an instant hit with my 9 year old. And if you have the Liesl and Co Maritime top pattern, it is very easy to adapt this dress pattern for yourself! As always, the pattern is beautifully drafted and the instructions are great.
