  • "My granddaughter loves this, and so far I've had to make the top and tunic and buy more fabric to make the dress. She’s a very girly girl who loves dresses but doesn’t like them too ‘fluffy,’ so the option to leave off the sash and bows is perfect for her. I can see this pattern being used many times over the next few years. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow as usual. Thank you." — Kathryn
  • "I absolutely love how this pattern turned out! I like that you have the option to make a simple bodice or switch it up to a ruched bodice with the same pattern. I also like when a pattern provides other extras to pick and choose and get different looks every time you make it." — Amanda
