This dress turned out beautifully. The pattern was well written, trendy and included directions for some high end finishes. I will definitely be making more. 🙂

I made this in a size 2. Great pattern with lots of details. Do not let the zipper scare you because the instructions are great with so many hints. This will be a summer staple for my girls.

This dress fits perfectly. I love the fit of this dress. The back is great for summer and can be done with nicer fabrics as well as woven. The fully lined bodice and skirt is a big hit with my daughter who doesn’t like “itchy” dresses. The blind hem is also great and was MUCH easier than I expected. 🙂 Great instructions and the zipper was not difficult at all.

One of my favorites! Love the details, the pleats, the gorgeous back, the button the professional finished of the dress. And the pattern was so easy to follow and the construction as well. The fitted bodice is my favorite and the whole dress can be made reversible since it is fully lined. The invisible zipper was so easy to install due to the easy instructions. Thank you Melissa and will make more of these!

I love this pattern! I love how I learned to blend sizes to give my daughter a perfect fit! It also has amazing directions teaching you how to sew pleats and an invisible zipper.

This dress is fabulous! The instructions are flawless and teach you to create a garment that is just as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. I love the techniques used in this dress (invisible zipper, fully lined, under stitching, pleats, and a blind hem) and that they are explained so that you can confidently complete them even if you haven’t used them before. I will make many more of these in the future!

The open back, the pleated skirt.. it has everything I love in a dress. My girl gets so many complements when she wears this dress. We both just adore this dress so much.
