So many options packed into one pattern. This is really the perfect dress pattern.

I loved sewing this pattern up for summer. Let’s face it…sometimes you just crave an easy wearing shift dress out of a lovely woven fabric. I found the sizing to be spot on. I was also impressed with how simple the bust adjustments are to make! This is a classic pattern that I will enjoy sewing over and over again!

I am so pleased with this pattern. I had all but given up wearing dresses, let alone making them for myself, until I tried this pattern. It is simple and yet looks good on. I have made 2 knee length, tank dresses and a tank top, with side splits, with a second tank top cut out and ready to sew. The full bust pattern piece makes such a difference to the fit. Thank you for such great pattern.

Love this pattern! I made the maxi dress with elastic waist and it is so comfy and flattering. Thank you Tami for all your great patterns and for having such a great size range. As a plus sized customer, I always know your patterns will fit beautifully, be fun to sew and have great instructions and support.

I just made my first tank from this pattern. I loves how it turned out. I’m very impressed with the fit, particularly the bust adjustment. The pattern was very easy to piece together. The instructions were very well organized and explained. The only trouble I had involved the tank facing. The link that demonstrates this is broken but I found a good alternate by “Threads Sewing” https://youtu.be/wlx93fYpFOY. Other than that, I will be making more items from this pattern.

This was the first woven top I ever made and it came out beautifully. The darts and facings are well drafted and the instructions are easy to follow. I was intimidated by woven tops, but this pattern built my confidence and I can’t wait to make the dress version for a classy but simple and comfortable summer dress.

This is my go to pattern for summer tops and dresses, I absolutely love it and it is so flattering.

Being in the fuller figure team, I have been reluctant to make tops with woven fabric but took the plunge knowing that Love Notions Patterns were more suitable to my build and had been recommended to me. I made a couple of minor adjustment and now have a lovely top ready for Summer …. or before if the opportunity arises.

I have made this dress in double gauze and cotton lawn (which I underlined) and I love them both. Easy to understand and thorough instructions made this shift a pleasure to sew.

Very nice top for the summer. The darts make it fit nicely.

I just made the Cadence tank top version using cotton eyelet. I am really pleased with the fit and I only had to make one minor adjustment (I moved the bust dart up about 3/4″). The only complaint I have is regarding the facing for the tank version, as it hits just above my bust line and given how thin my fabric is, it’s definitely noticeable. Granted, I did not shorten the facing pattern piece when I moved my bust dart. I think for thinner fabrics, I would actually make the facing longer in order to completely cover the bust and have the tank be at least partially self-lined. I am already planning ways to put my own touch on the top by manipulating the dart!
