This is the one dress pattern you need!!! A simple, elegant and versatile wardrobe staple. 

Ah you’re so welcome thank you!! I thoroughly enjoyed making them and talking about them!! It’s such a fabulous pattern thank you so much for creating it!! ❤

Hi, yes thank you I think it’s a very flattering dress on many body shapes! 🥰

Ah thank you so much! Yes I was thinking a scarf or jacket with the mustard dress would probably work well enough for me to enjoy wearing it. It’s a lovely fabric. 💛

Ah I need to get buying some more, they’re so beautiful. 😍

Ah thank you so much!! 😊

Ooh fabulous! Happy sewing 🥰

Ah fabulous!! Thank you so much and Happy Sewing!! 🧵 💙

🤦‍♀️😂 it’s strange how it looked so good in my head!! 😂. Thank you. 🥰

Ooh yes go for it thank you!! 🤩

Ah thank you!! It needed to be sorted! 🫣😂

🫣 you’ll love it!! Happy Sewing!! 😄

Ah it’s a gorgeous dress and think of the value for money as it has so many different looks!! 😍😂. Thank you. Happy sewing to you too! ❤️

🫣😂 that has made me laugh so much! Yes mustard is definitely a colour few can get away with I think! 💛

Ooh wow, what a gorgeous first project!!! That’s a beautiful skirt!

Oh thanks so much!! Yes you’re right, it’s always a journey and I love sharing that! 😂🥰

🫣😂 Sooo much better without the white!! Thank you!! It’s such a good pattern!

🫣🤦‍♀️😂😂 wasn’t exactly what I had envisioned 😂. Yes it’s such a fab pattern! 🥰

Oh thank you!!! It was a bit of a journey and happy to share. 😂

Ooh light linen sounds lovely!! I’m sure you will love it! Thanks for the idea about the stripes, I’m all for anything which makes matching the dreaded stripes easier!! 🥰😂

Ah thank you!! I think with so many ways to wear it, there’s something for everyone in this dress 😂

Ah thank you!! Yes I love this dress! You’re right about the blue being so much better than the mustard on me, but as a rule I definitely prefer the warmer colours!! Have you seen my colour vlog which I did a few months ago? I had such strong opinions on which colours I like! 🫣😂. However, as I’ve said, it’s not the law and pretty much we can wear what we feel best in I think!! 🥰

Ah that’s great!! Happy sewing!! Hope you enjoy the dress as much as I do! ☺️

Thank you!! It’s such a lovely pattern 🥰

Isn’t it a fab pattern?!! 🥰

Ah thank you Shannon! ❤️

Ah thank you!! It works so well in that fabric 💛

Ah great! Hope you enjoy yours as much as I have! Happy sewing!

Ah thanks Clare!! Yes you would look fab in one of these! 🥰

Ah thank you!! She makes some fantastic patterns! 🥰

Thank you! ☺️

Thank you so much! Yes it’s a bit different tied at the sides isn’t it? ☺️

Hi, thank you!! Yes Sara has some amazing designs and great sew alongs which I think make all the difference when sewing a new pattern. 🥰

Ooh exciting!! Happy sewing!! 🧵 🥰

Ah fabulous, happy sewing and I hope you enjoy it!! 🥰

Ooh fab news!! You will love it I’m sure! Thank you so much 😊

It’s a good one, you won’t regret it!! Definitely better without the white accents though!! 🫣😂😂😂

Thank you, yes it’s a great versatile style thanks to the ties 🥰

😂🥰 thank you so much! Ooh I hope you do get to make it, it’s such a simple but useful dress! ❤️

Oh thank you!!! Yes it’s the perfect dress to dress up or down depending on fabric used. 🥰

Ah thank you so much and happy sewing to you too! 🥰

Hi, thank you!! I honestly think that there are so many ways to wear and tie this that it would work for many body types! 🥰

Ooh that’s exciting thank you!! Happy sewing!! Ps love your name, that should be mine looking at the state of my sewing room behind the camera! 😂😂😂

Ah thank you so much!! So pleased to hear my dress journey has been helpful! 🥰😂

Thank you, it certainly works well in a drapey fabric, I have another drapey one planned 😄

Ah thank you so much. Yes it is a great pattern, I’m planning my next one already!!

Ah thank you!! Yes the white absolutely had to go! 🫣😂

😂 there was no getting away from that scrubs look! 🤦‍♀️😂. Thanks. ☺️

Ah thank you!! 🥰 yes It definitely needed to be changed! 🫣😂😂

🫣 I’ve just been in my sewing room looking at more fabrics to make it in! 😂. I can see a dress habit forming… 🥰😂

Thank you!! 😊 could this be one for you? 🤔 🥰

Yes please 🙏😘🥳🥳

Thank you!! That’s what I love about this dress pattern 💛

Oh thank you so much!! Yes if you like the Naya, you will love this as it’s the Naya with shaping!! Happy sewing!!

Ooh yes someone else mentioned that and wondered if it would work in a knit fabric. May have to try it!!

Thank you!! Those are definitely the best combinations of the fabric, it was far too much to use both on the dress! 🫣😂

Yes he has no filter 🫣😂. He was absolutely right though 😆. Thank you, yes make one, you’d look fab in it! 😍

Ooh can’t wait to see the striped one using different directions, I think that would work beautifully! Thank you! ☺️

🫣 there was no getting away from it!! 😂. Thank you! ☺️

Ah thank you so much! Yes absolutely better as a top than the dress! 😂🥰

Ooh yes it would make a fab jumpsuit! About the mustard, I’m actually warming to it a little as I wear the dress, especially with a jacket to cover some of it… perhaps it’s worth another look! 💛😂. Thank you so much. 😊

Ah yes, it definitely is!! But I love how it pleats as it’s folded in. 🩵

😂 thank you!! Like i said, it’s a goodie! My perfect dress to be honest!! Looking forward to seeing your version if you make it! ❤

@@sewsarahstyle A0 print ordered. Hopefully it gets posted in time for some weekend sewing- rummaging through fabric stash now, it’s definitely bumped to the top of the list

Ooh exciting!! Can’t wait to see it! Love how you don’t hang around!! 🥰😂

Am going to check that out now thank you!! ☺️

😂 I think it went from hospital to south of France! 😂. Wish I was there now! ☀️ 🌊 😎. Thanks. xx

😂 good idea thanks!

Hi; thank you. It was from pound fabrics about three years ago I’m afraid!! They do have some striped linen cotton but that may be a bit thicker. x

Hi, fabulous news!!! Yes I did it as the instructions recommended and it worked well. Happy Sewing and I’d love to know how you get on with it!!

@@sewsarahstyle Thanks Sarah! 😘

Hi, thanks so much!! That’s exciting that you have the pattern. I’m sure you will love it!! I’ve just double checked the finished measurement chart. It says that the 8 bust is 49.6. I also made the side panels one inch less. To be honest I think I could have sized down to the six but didn’t want it to be too small when I first made it. I’m happy with the ease which I guess must be about 9 inches?!!! It’s a tricky one to call because I think ease is a personal preference. How many sizes are you going down from your measurements? I like the fact that the excess ease folds or pleats in to make a bit of interest if you know what I mean?!! 12 inches of ease sounds like way too much to me though!!! Hope that helps?! 🤔🙃😂

@@sewsarahstyle thanks Sarah, the pattern puts me in a size 20, but as usual it would be too big on shoulders i think? I may do the 16 bodice as a toile first before using my good fabric xx

Hi, yes I’m the same the shoulders are always too big!! And these are very dropped shoulders, so lots of ease there to be honest!! I would definitely toile it as I always do anyway, and I’m sure either a 16 or a 14 would be fine depending on how much extra fabric you’re happy to tie in!! 😂 happy sewing and let me know how you get on! 🥰

@@sewsarahstyle Thanks so much Sarah, I will definitely let you know how it goes, I've got some lovely double gauze for it in a rust colour with gold flecks in it, should look great when done( can only hope!) 🥰

Oh that sounds gorgeous! Happy sewing! ❤

Hi, I’m pretty sure I sized down from a 12. Sorry can’t check at the moment, but I remember it being two sizes. Definitely check the finished garment measurements to help decide. I do like a bit of ease with a dress like this though. Happy sewing 😃

Ooh now that’s interesting because I was wondering the same thing? It would definitely need stabilising and there are a few seams, vertical and horizontal which could potentially go a bit wobbly, but if you’re anything like me, then just have a go!! If in doubt I will always use fabric I’m not precious about first. I am also tempted to try a knit as I think it would drape beautifully. You could also ask Sara for her advice if you’re on Instagram, she’s so helpful! 🥰. Good luck!!

I'll give it a try! It reminds me a bit of the kielo wrap, which of course can be knit or woven. Sara is the sweetest, I messaged her once about the hanbok wrap dress pattern and she was so helpful 😊😊
