A really pretty dress, it looks fabulous on you. 👌💕

It’s such a bummer that you didn’t enjoy the construction of this dress. It looks beautiful on you and the color is great. It’ll be nice in the black rayon fabric. I hope you do sew and share it.

Your alterations make the dress look fantastic on you! I'm so glad you reviewed this pattern because I JUST bought it myself. I had considered using a more expensive fabric I was saving to make it, after making a toile first. You and I are very much the same build so your video has shown me what to watch out for and probably saved me wasting the fabric. Thanks!

You are so welcome! I love KZread for this exact reason! If we can save ourselves at least one headache then all the watch time is worth it! 😆

Your modifications made it a much cuter dress, imho! Love the bottom pleats...really great save on an odd length that adds much more interest.

Thank you so much! Especially as you are one of my OG followers 🥰 I really appreciate it.

Length looks perfect. I think shorter would ruin it. Thx for yr review. I'm regretting having bought this pattern. I haven't found a single review where anyone was completely happy with the pattern without needing to alter it.

The tucks were a great idea.

I love the dress! It is my style for sure... I'll be watching to see if you decide to sell it 😊

Thanks! It was literally one of those split second ideas and I'm so glad I acted on it!

I agree! The elastic measurements are always too big for me too!

I just recently got this pattern so I was happy to see this review. I love all the mods you did to it! The pintucks are really cute and I think add a lot f interest to it. I also love the ties and the color is gorgeous. Very pretty!

Thank you, Kennethia! I’m going to check out your review next. Just by the thumbnail, that pink looks good on you 😉

Thanks for the review. Usually with the big 4 patterns I have to shorten them bc they are made for women 5'7 and I'm 5'2. If you would have shorten the skirt part you might have had enough for the pocket but I do like have you added the ties. Enjoying your channel

Thanks so much for that tip! Also really interesting in that I didn’t know they drafted for a 5”7 frame. That makes a lot of sense now!

Maybe you should have chosen a different fabric but your version looks very nice. It is my favourite pattern.

I think so too!

I love the finished dress. I think I need to start measuring the pattern pieces of big 5 patterns and compare them to my body measurements. This happens to me all the time when I make stuff. It's always too big. I like the kind of empire waist on this dress and I did buy it. I am going to try to make it in a midi length. I think yours turned out cute. Sometimes when I make stuff I need to give it a "time out" for a while and then I find the love for it. I hope that happens to you. Thanks for the video!

Totally agree with the time out idea. Because watching this back I feel like it wasn’t really that bad, I actually think I like it more now.

In all honesty this style is not one I would go a size up for. Instead of the pintucks, which did give the dress some interest, I would have cut the bottom flounce off slightly above the gathers and reattached it to the skirt at your preferred skirt length. Just my 2 cents worth❤. I think the finished alterations definitely improved the dress.
