I learned so much from working through this pattern! It was easy to follow. I bought the fit kit, but the pattern as written actually fit me pretty perfectly.
what a lovely elegant design! I made this dress in a shot-silk duponi for my wedding and am looking forward to making the long-sleeved version at some point in the future. I ended up making the front of the dress in two halves because the fabric was too narrow but it's not too noticeable, and I crossed the back straps (the back of view B and the wrap detail of view A) and used buttons instead of a zip. I would adjust next time to make the bodice a little shorter for me. such a clever pattern!
All of the sleeves are beautiful and worth the pattern purchase even if you own the dress pattern already. The instructions are clear and this is not a hard pattern. Next time I make this I will change the hem to be 1 - 1.5 inches. I just love that the seam allowance is always included.
