Confusing patternReviewed by Elaine Williamson (✓ Verified Buyer) on 08/07/2023This pattern was 58 pages long when printed. Very confusing on putting the pattern pieces together. Love this dress but I could not figure out the pattern. Ended up making another dress I saw on Jordan Fabric on YouTube. Maybe you should have a video of how to assemble the pattern pieces.Was this helpful?Favorite Oliver + S dressReviewed by Susan Boston (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/27/2022I recently bought a larger size in this dress but have made it a few times in the small size. It is my favorite Oliver + S pattern. So fun to mix and match the fabrics. Most recently, I made three dresses at once for three granddaughters so I opted to eliminate the V on the neck and the pockets to save time. However, the V is a nice touch and makes the dress very special. Excellent directions as always.Was this helpful?Ice Cream DressReviewed by Jayne Fairley (✓ Verified Buyer) on 07/02/2021I love this dress and liked the idea of no buttonholes or zips. I would have appreciated an illustration &/or more details on how to put together & finish off the back yolk where the two openings join onto the dress body.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Ice Cream DressReviewed by Marisol Arteaga (✓ Verified Buyer) on 05/03/2021I have made this dress in the smaller sizes so many times! My granddaughter is now in the larger sizes so I just had to order the pattern again. It is just as adorable in the bigger size as it was in the small one. Such an easy dress to make and so stylish. My kiddos really love the pockets.Was this helpful?Ice cream dressReviewed by Carolyn (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/23/2021Made it in 18 months size for my 10 months granddaughter hoping it would be good for first steps. She has chubby little arms but the cap sleeve area was way too tight. I used a denim type fabric with little give- a knit would have been a much better choice! I will try again. Loved the look of the finished dress- cuter in real life than the pictureWas this helpful?Ice Cream dressReviewed by Verna (✓ Verified Buyer) on 03/25/2021I think this is my favourite dress pattern I sewed for my granddaughter, and she loved wearing the dress. It is a well written pattern and the pattern goes together very easily.Was this helpful?Adorable!Reviewed by Gail (✓ Verified Buyer) on 08/22/2018I used the dress pattern as a top for some shorts for my grand daughter. I used jersey knit fabric which made the top stitching around the neckline absolutely necessary so that it held its shape. After several launderings, it still looks great. And the outfit is adorable - not because I made it, but because the design of the pattern is perfect for that “ just learning to walk” ball of energy!!1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Love this pattern!!Reviewed by Jalinn Nobis-Wichman (✓ Verified Buyer) on 08/11/2018I love this dress. I've probably made this half a dozen times and had to upsize to the "big girl" size. She wanted this for her back to school dress. This pattern is what gave me the confidence to sew for the kids. It is so well written and illustrated.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Worthwhile patternReviewed by Betty-Ann (✓ Verified Buyer) on 02/21/2018I am just completing the Ice Cream tunic for my granddaughter, about to turn 2. I am making the 4 year old size on the basis that she is growing fast and it may be a reasonable fit next Californian summer (I am in New Zealand). I am using a cotton lawn, and for my next version am likely to use a chambray with some body for a different look and feel. I really like the pattern- it goes together quickly and easily, and the design is fresh and versatile. For those sewists who dislike making buttonholes or avoid zips, the fabric button loop is perfect. The pattern has the yoke finished by using edge stitch on the outside to complete the union of yoke and skirt. However, the garment could be also made so that the yoke facing has the final stitching (eg hand stitched down then top stitched). This would not give the very crisp look in the design, but may be easier in some cases to achieve a neat look.Was this helpful?Great pattern, good dress/tunicReviewed by Julie (✓ Verified Buyer) on 08/23/2017The dress came together quickly. Recommend it for a fast, fun pattern--I did the color blocking dress. For my toddler, I think next time I'll do it as a tunic/blouse.2 of 2 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Sweet dressReviewed by Katja (✓ Verified Buyer) on 08/22/2017A beautiful little dress with nice details, fun to play around with different fabrics and colours Great instructions and a great fit. The little recipient was very satisfied!2 of 2 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?First garment sewing projectReviewed by Mandy (✓ Verified Buyer) on 07/27/2017This was my first time sewing clothing, as a quilter I have experience with sewing but garment sewing is pretty different. I am thankful that I chose this Oliver+S pattern to start with! The directions along with the illustrations and helpful tips made everything extremely simple to understand. I started by making the blouse, my daughter loves it! I did add a bottom panel (using View A's bottom panel for the right shape and width, but cut down to the size I wanted, about 3.5 inches, and then added the panel using the View B instructions.) to the top for more contrast and mostly to give my long waisted girl more time in the top. I loved making the blouse so much, I also made the View A dress. That was really fun to make! The gathering on both views was a cinch to do and the pockets were so nice to make! As this was my first pattern, I enjoyed the flexibility of the digital pattern printing, especially when adding the panel to the blouse. I didn't have to worry about ruining the tissue and I like how sturdy each part felt as I was cutting around them!1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Great top.Reviewed by Suzanne (✓ Verified Buyer) on 05/31/2017I made the tunic in a crazy tula pink quilting cotton and it's adorable. This pattern is very similar the geranium dress, however it has the advantage that the waist is higher. This means that there are fewer buttons and it'seems easier to get on and off. Great top.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Darling dressReviewed by Susan B (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/23/2017This was my second Oliver & S dress. I am getting back into sewing and found parts of the dress a little tricky but the directions were excellent and I had no trouble. I bought a size 4 for my almost 4 year old granddaughter. Since her measurements don't follow the sizing measurements, I went by the chest size and it fit perfectly. She is a 5 in RTW. Can't wait to make my next Oliver & S outfit.Was this helpful?nice dressReviewed by shanta (✓ Verified Buyer) on 02/22/2017This was my first sewing project. It was easy to follow and the dress turned out well.Was this helpful?Sweet dressReviewed by Patricia Regina Ferreira (✓ Verified Buyer) on 11/06/2016Dear Liesl, I love your patterns! I am a beginner and sometimes is difficult to understand what I have to do and think in English is difficult too. I miss videos tutorials! Anyway, I finished the dress. As we live in a very warm city – Rio de Janeiro – and have a 40 degrees Celsius summer, my girls enjoy sleeveless dresses. I already bought the book Building Block Dress and I’m so excited to have it in my hands cause I’m arriving in NY in November 11st for vacations and probably I will buy more fabrics for my little girls’ dresses ☺Was this helpful?Totally adorableReviewed by madilyne (✓ Verified Buyer) on 09/19/2016So far I've only made the shirt from this pattern but I have made it twice and I am totally obsessed. The instructions were very straightforward and easy to understand, and the shirt is absolutely adorable.Was this helpful?A confidence booster.Reviewed by Simone (✓ Verified Buyer) on 09/06/2016This was a very fun and satisfying sew. It came together very quickly as the instructions were very easy to follow with the extensive details and handy tips. As a fairly new sewer I find these patterns easier to understand than ones from the big pattern companies. Working through a pattern of Liesl's boosts your confidence, and I was thrilled how the dress turned out. Thankfully, my 3 yo was just as thrilled with her new dress as she wanted to wear it straight away! I would recommend this pattern and plan on making more versions. I thoroughly enjoyed making this dress and didn't have to use my seam ripper either which was a bonus!!Was this helpful?Very fun patternReviewed by Christina (✓ Verified Buyer) on 08/08/2016I've already made two dresses and two blouses for my 18 month old daughter. The pattern was easy to follow and it was a quick sew. Something I could work on during naps.Was this helpful?Super cute, fairly easy projectReviewed by Tish (✓ Verified Buyer) on 08/05/2016The hardest part was feeding the turned edges in while top stitching for to yoke and bottom piece. Otherwise super easy, really cute.Was this helpful?Beginner modificationsReviewed by Erin (✓ Verified Buyer) on 08/01/2016This was a great pattern to get started with. I am not a great sewer, mostly curtains, so I undertook this one with the help of my mom. We had great luck following the sew-along from Rebekah at Wisconstitches.wordpress.com. The extra pictures helped explain the steps. As a beginner I chose to skip the v detail at the pocket but did the neckline one. Mom did the gathers at the breastbone. I did find that in cutting the size 6 pattern I was able to use less fabric by changing up the cutting layout and folding the fabric. Just barely. Any larger size and it would not have worked for the 44" fabric width I was using. I did also find that because I was sizing up it was really too long and decided to hem up the bottom a bit. I would make this pattern again. I do also wish the the digital print came with an option to print on 11x17 sheets. This would save some cutting and taping.Was this helpful?Loved this pattern!Reviewed by Katherine (✓ Verified Buyer) on 07/13/2016I made this cute dress for my granddaughter who is 4 years old, so the size 4. I measured her against the pattern, and no alterations were necessary. Being a well seasoned sewer, I could probably have made the dress without the instructions, but the first time I make a pattern, I follow them to the letter. I used a beautiful Liberty of London print for the body, and a solid knit for the band, yoke and pocket tops. The only thing I did differently, was in sewing the dress to the yoke, the pattern said to stitch the facing to the wrong side, then topstitch the outer afterwards. I prefer to stitch the outer right sides together with the dress, then stitch in the ditch to secure the facing. This is just a preference and not a knockdown on the rating.Was this helpful?Delighted!Reviewed by Linda Urban (✓ Verified Buyer) on 07/10/2016This was my first Oliver + S pattern and I'm very pleased with the way it turned out. I made it in size 2T for my 2 year-old granddaughter and modified it only by shortening the hem band 1 inch based on her measurements. It fit perfectly, even fitting over her rather large head. Four stars because attaching the back yoke to the back dress as per directions left an unsatisfactory finish, with a few threads poking through, despite my best efforts. I countered by covering them with a bar tack, a tip I found somewhere in the discussion of this pattern either here or on Flickr. (So grateful for all the input from others!) Looking forward to making it again.Was this helpful?Not my favoriteReviewed by Mary (✓ Verified Buyer) on 06/11/2016Tracing and cutting this out is certainly tedious. It also seems to take a lot of fabric. I'm just starting on the blouse. When I look at pictures on flickr some of the view A dresses look odd- like the bottom panel is too long to look right. Other pictures look ok. I will make view A next and see how I like it. I love all of the Oliver + S patterns and I hope to learn to love this too.Was this helpful?now an Oliver+s fanReviewed by Ruth Cook (✓ Verified Buyer) on 06/05/2016This is my second Oliver+s pattern and I'm loving them. I have now made this pattern up twice for my 3yr old granddaughter, once as a top and then as a dress with the contrast trim and pockets. It is a sweet style and easy to wear; the size 4 top is roomy enough to go over a long sleeve t-shirt and leggings and looks very cute on her. The armholes seem loose enough now, but after reading comments about the armhole size, I would take that into account when making up another garment. It is an easy pattern to follow and make up and I like the way the yoke attaches with no raw seam allowances showing.Was this helpful?My first O+S patternReviewed by Laura (✓ Verified Buyer) on 05/14/2016I thought this pattern was trickier to follow than expected for two out of five stars. I guess I have followed mostly tutorials before, but I did not find the sewing difficult, or really the pattern, just the wording on how to piece the items together. The dress turned out nicely, but, as others have written, the arm holes are tight on my (very thin) 5 y.o.Was this helpful?Nice and easyReviewed by ilaria (✓ Verified Buyer) on 05/10/2016Pattern is realy nice and easy to sew. In few days I already sew two dresses. Digital pattern is perfect.Was this helpful?Digital ice cream dress patternReviewed by Ruth Camper (✓ Verified Buyer) on 04/03/2016I have made the pattern in the smaller size range before and always loved it. I finally needed the 5yr plus pattern and ordered the digital. While I am always happy with the finished product I would not order this size in digital again as it used much more paper and ink than I expected. For myself I think I would go with the paper pattern in the future.2 of 3 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Cute DressReviewed by Jill (✓ Verified Buyer) on 02/23/2016I made a 3T for my granddaughter who is tall and slim, and not quite 3. It was fairly easy to make but, although very roomy in the dress section, it seemed too snug in the yoke section. In particular the armholes seem too high, or too small. I am not that experienced at alterations and not quite sure how to address this issue. I thought I might make the yoke a little deeper next time. I also wondered whether the yoke section was too wide for her shoulders. She loved the dress and it did look lovely on so I will make another. I learned quite a bit from making this pattern as the directions were good.3 of 4 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Most versatile top/dress patternReviewed by Natasha (✓ Verified Buyer) on 11/08/2015I absolutely love this pattern. It looks super cute on and most importantly my daughter loves to wear it. I have made three versions now and all look super professional. It is very easy to sew and the French seams work really well. The neck opening is a little large if you sew it with the recommended 1/2 inch seam, but now I sew it with a 3/8 inch seam and it sits and looks better. I will definately make this pattern again and again.3 of 4 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?first digital pattern useReviewed by grandma : )) (✓ Verified Buyer) on 10/25/2015The dress is adorable and just the sort of 'over dress' my granddaughter loves to wear. This was my first download experience, which went smoothly, but does add a few steps to the whole project! I seriously doubt I will use digital again. The instructions were clear, I used the French seams as suggested on the side seams and was not completely happy with the under-arm curve...difficult to 'straighten' as described. Also the neckline just about fell off one shoulder or the other, so I was very surprised to read another seamstress had the opposite problem, with the neckline being to small!2 of 3 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?I guess I'm the only one...Reviewed by Suzy (✓ Verified Buyer) on 10/17/2015I made this dress in a size 5 for my tall 4 yr old, I couldn't get it over her head. She has a normal sized head so I'm surprised I'm the only one with this issue.Suzy, we're sorry for the difficulty you had. We haven't heard of this issue before with the pattern, and if it were a pattern-related issue we would have heard from others by this point.Was this helpful?Fantastic pattern!Reviewed by Sharon (✓ Verified Buyer) on 10/15/2015I really enjoyed sewing this pattern up, I've made it twice and will be making it again. I learned a few new things as well. The instructions are very well written, I had to just follow them as I hadn't sewn a dress this way before (most of the seams are hidden in the linings) and it all worked out even better than I thought it would.Was this helpful?Great outcome!!!Reviewed by Carole Upper (✓ Verified Buyer) on 09/30/2015Once I printed the pattern in the proper format everything else was a breeze. I had purchased a linen table cloth for .50 cents at a yard sale with a detail edge. I used the detail edge and did not have to hem the tunic. It turned out adorable!Was this helpful?Pricey patternReviewed by JoyLee (✓ Verified Buyer) on 09/15/2015I ordered this pattern to make dresses for my daughter and neice for my sisters wedding. I didn't actually do any sewing (cue my mother and sister in law). We found the pattern to be very expensive for what it is (it cost me $24 AUD) and then I had to pay another $13 and go through a lot of hassle to get the pattern specially printed for it to be usuable. This seems really pricey for a downloadable pattern and was not very accesible. I think the pattern itself was pretty simple to follow once we actually got it printed. The dresses were done in browny/creamy linen colours with purple pockets. It turned out to be pretty cute. But the cost once we bought the fabric meant that we ended up having $60 dresses for an 18 month old when we were hoping that hand making them would save money. Not sure I'll ever purchase from here again for that reason.Was this helpful?absolutely adorableReviewed by Julia Gaultier on 08/31/2015This was the first Oliver + S pattern I ever sewed, and it got me absolutely hooked. It's not hard to make but looks so professional when done. The neckline and pocket details make all the difference.Was this helpful?Beautiful results!Reviewed by Rhythm Tyagi (✓ Verified Buyer) on 07/21/2015I absolutely love the end result, it turned out to be a beautiful dress! I am already trying out another view of this pattern. I wish it came in adult sizes! I would love to sew an icecream top for myself!Was this helpful?classicReviewed by Sarah (✓ Verified Buyer) on 06/13/2015love the pattern specially the tunic version.my daughter is just 6 months so tunics look v beautiful on her.i made a lot of tunics with remnants that go with jeans/leggings and make a perfect outfit.a very quick project.Was this helpful?Best blouseReviewed by Cynthia (✓ Verified Buyer) on 06/01/2015I bought this hoping for a simple spring/summer blouse pattern, and fell in love! The directions are clear, and the blouse looks professional and beautiful with little fuss. Usually I make 1-2 items from a pattern before trying to find something better, but I'm making 7 of these to start!2 of 3 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?love it.Reviewed by Change on 01/27/2015Oliver +s is my first commercial pattern. I do not sew much, but when my daughter tried the dress on I was surprised, it was so simple yet elegant. I am not very good at English, but the pattern's instruction is very very clear to follow. I have learnt a lot from it. a little problem, my daughter's long hair sometimes caught up by the button. it would be nice if there is an alternative closure included in the pattern. anyway, I really like the pattern!Was this helpful?Iove!!Reviewed by Karen Eubank on 11/22/2014This dress was perfect! I lengthened the sleeve and added a ruffle. It is just perfect. You can see a picture at www.LILAandG.com it is the woodland dress.Was this helpful?Adorable pattern!Reviewed by Esme on 11/10/2014Sweet, simple, and totally moreish - just like ice-cream! I made one of these for my youngest daughter, and her older sister loved it so much that I bought the larger size of the pattern for her as well. Just lovely.Was this helpful?Digital icecream dressReviewed by Helen Yu on 09/04/2014As usual,ove the style, love the drafting. Love the finished product.

Oliver and s deliver again!Was this helpful?THIS PATTERN IS AWESOME!!!Reviewed by Jalinn on 09/03/2014I am not an awesome seamstress, but this pattern is so well written that it makes me look like I know what I'm doing.

The lowest number you see there indicates which printing you have. For example, if the lowest number in the box on the instruction sheet is "2," you have an instruction sheet from the second printing. Any errors in the instructions mentioned for the first printing have been corrected in your version. If the lowest number in the box on the pattern sheet is "1," you have a copy of the pattern sheet from the first printing.
Pattern sheets and instructions sheets can be printed separately, so be sure to check the errata notices for pattern pieces against the printing number on the pattern sheet and errata notices for instructions against the printing number on the instruction sheet.
