I chose size 3 for my 3.5 girl. Good thing I decided to try with another fabric and not my Dora fabric....
This is one of the FIRST children patterns that I do not like. I wasn't sure at first, thinking it might too big for her, and that's way the fit wasn't great, but no... it's very short, so it may fit more as a top next year , but still, I just don't like it...
The Pattern Review:
First, as I said, I think the dress is very wide and very short... so I have issues with the look of this pattern.
It is also very weird to put on... there are buttons on the front that are connected with another piece of fabric... difficult to explain. and then there are the ties on the back (which are actually cute). If it fits my girl better, I'd made her another dress with the ties on the front...
I think it isvery comfortable, since my daughter loves the dress...
The instructions are very good though, not much to not understand.
Also I want to mention that you need A LOT OF BIAS TAPE! (I made my own for this dress... using this cute machine
In conclusion - I'll try this pattern again next year (same size) and if it looks better then I'll have to lengthen it. But really, so many cute dresses out there... I'm not sure I'll ever look at this one again!

Oh what a shame. I have this pattern in my stash. I might just stick with the Farbenmix Anna wrap dress then- I know that I love that one!
ReplyDeleteIt has s look of Otto's harebell dress, don't you think? Gorgeous looking pattern picture but you're right; it's too short & wide. As Tas said, I'd stick to the Anna!
