This is the first pattern I have downloaded printed at home and then constructed. The final version is very comfortable and fits well. I made adjustements to the pattern before I cut based on the pattern measurements and the final product – however I ended up by triming the sides of the dress to a smaller size than I cut. The insert at the front I found a bit fiddly, but overall I like the style and might try a variation of the pattern so I don’t have the front insert. Overall, it will be a dress that I see myself wearing loads this summer.
