Hip, hip hooray! You always have the most stylin’ patterns!
Hi Rae. I’ve had the perfect fabric for a new dress to wear to my cousins wedding, but not the perfect pattern. Well, that was until this afternoon. I saw the pattern late afternoon (Australian time), brought it & printed it. Made dinner. Assembled the pattern & traced off my size while the kids ate & had a little play before bed. Put the girls to bed. Cut the test fabric & made a muslin. Just tried it on and I am DELIGHTED. It fits me perfectly – that’s right, no adjustments. I’m gobsmacked. It’s the first ever thing I’ve made for myself where I haven’t had to make ANY changes. Hip Hip Hooray. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you. Happy days, Anna
YAY!!! So excited to hear this Anna!!
Rae – thanks so much for making such a quality pattern so quickly. It’s awesome! I saw your post late in the evening and stayed up til 2 am to get my first Washi finished. I love it!
oh my word!! That is awesome chelsea, I can’t wait to see it!!!
Got it – yay! I have never sewn much for myself, so I’m *really* excited for this. Thanks, Rae!
Hooray! This *almost* makes me wish I was not headed to the cottage for two weeks. Can’t wait to make one! First thing I will have sewn for myself since horrid tissue patterns with my mom in the 90s. Thanks for the inspiration!
How exciting! I ordered the Washi fabric from fabric.com the moment I saw yours. Can’t wait to make it! Thanks for all your hard work -
Warmly,
Jeni
It looks awesome!! Congratulations!! As suggested the evening will now be spent on the floor taping the pattern and watching the Olympics. I can’t wait! xx
haha AWESOME!
Rae, I’m so proud and impressed! Major achievement.
You inspire me.
Very, very impressive Rae! Congratulations on creating such a fabulous dress and making it into a perfect pattern!
Hooray!! Been waiting and waiting for this pattern! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication, I appreciate it very much and I am sure your other readers do as well! Cheers!
this is SO awesome, i’m excited to try it. And I MUST say that the graphics on the pattern are TRULY awesome (and fun to look at too!), so kudos to Ellie and you. You guys did an amazing job!

The pattern was very easy to put together! Nice job!! The instructions were very well thought out, and also easy to follow! I made a mock up first and thought it was a great fit. So I started my dress, after I got my facing in….WAY TOO BIG!! Yikes, guess I need to fully finish my mock up with facing to know if it will fit better. The back puckered out, the scoop neck was way too low. But other than that…so cute I absolutely LOVE the pockets!! It’s a totally comfy dress and I really want to fix it! I think I’ll make some facings for the arms as well. Great pattern, thanks for all the hard work and time you put into it! I appreciate the hours!!
