A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!! That’s all I can say. I love the pleats and details that makes this look like something you would buy from Janie and Jack. The ruffles and flow of the dress is lovely, my daughter loves twirling and this just made it for her! And as always your patterns are fully lined so absolutely no complaints about the itch-factor. Thank you so much for another beautiful pattern!

Sara, I agree with you this pattern is amazing and one of my favourites from Melissa. Those pleats details are perfection.

I love BSD patterns and the Felicity Dress is no exception! These patterns are so well written. Easy to follow instructions. Fit has been great for us (make sure you use a recent measurement of your model and follow the size charts for blended sizes). I just LOVE the pin tucks and ruffles. So sweet but sophisticated at the same time. My girls love these and they will be a staple in our summer wardrobe! Thanks for such an awesome pattern!!!

Great pattern with clear instructions. I made one for each of my two granddaughters. I took the lazy route on the skirt parts and didn’t line them as I was using stash fabric and didn’t have enough but they turned out fine.

Julie I too went without lining my skirt with the 4th one lol and turned out really cute <3. Thank you so much for your feedback we are so glad you like the pattern.

I love this dress so much and the instructions are amazing. One of the best pattern designers I have found and she is so helpful as well. My daughter loves her Felicity dress so much that if she could she would wear it every day. Beautiful pattern!

The results were a perfect Sun dress. I tried it on light weight and medium weight woven fabric and both gave me best results. This pattern left me feeling envious of my daughter, Hmmm! How I wish it was available in ladies sizes. as expected of the Bella Sunshine design patterns, I also got a Perfect fit on this one. I love this pattern!

I have two granddaughters in UK that I made the dress for without measurements, just using their ages and the fit is great. (I live in New Zealand). The girls love the swirl of the dresses, one with the ruffle and one without. I did one with lining and one without and both were fine. The instructions were easy to follow, although as an older, experienced sewer there were parts/order that I sewed in a more traditional way.
