My granddaughter wanted the seamless sleeves of the Carmen dress and the v front lapped skirt of the sweetheart dress and a zipper in the back. The pdf patterns for projection are easy to work with a mashing them together was pretty simple, as was blending the sizes for a custom fit. I really like the keyhole back, but the boss wanted a zipper, also easy to adjust using Inkscape. Thank you for making the patterns projector friendly and editable. I’ll be back!

I found the pdf template very easy to print out and use, and instructions were very clear. However it is quite time consuming to put the template together precisely, but I didn’t mind doing it. I also added some length to the skirt as it was very short.

I made 5 versions of this dress for my skater between the ages of 11 and 16. My kid has a very long body, which made her very hard to fit in a ready-made dress, and the pattern was pretty easy to adjust to make her look great on the ice. I used stretch velvet for the base of the dress, which was easy to work with, and matching mesh from Spandex House in NYC. I put the extra length into the skirt and under part of the dress, raising the waist a little bit. I bought too much fabric each time - extra 1/2 yard? - so that I could cut again if I didn't get it right the first time. It is a perfect dress for adapting into something new. I blinged it across the upper chest and shoulders in one version, around the skirt and neck in a different one.

Unfortunately, the pattern didnt fit properly. The waist line is too low and this is the smallest issue with the pattern. I had to do a lot of adjustments to make it fit. As it was for my daugther - it was fine, but to use this pattern to make the dress for other kids, based on the measurement in the instruction I simply cannot, it is not possible at all. So for me it was a little bit of a dissapoinmtent because i expected proper standard patterns

lo mejor que he usado, otros patrones en mi pais (chile) son muy basicos, dando mas trabajo a la hora de crear
seria genial que agregaran mas patrones de vestidos y pantalones
Gracias
