I made my daughter a lovely dress with this pattern. It was truly a joy to sew with great directions, as always with LN patterns. I love the gathered yoke and the gathered elastic waistband. They are subtle details that really add to such a sweet and simple pattern. I am planning to make her another very soon.

I was looking for a basic woven dress for my girl with a button up front. This one is perfect! It sews up fairly quick, and has great instructions and pictures! The outcome is super adorable every time!

So we’ll written, and just a beautiful pattern. I used this pattern for my daughter’s Easter dress and made her dreams come true: carrot fabric on the top, orange gingham on the bottom. LoveNotions patterns are so easy to follow and this one was not exception!

I made this adorable dress in a Unicorn fabric for my granddaughter. As soon as she put it on, she said,” I’m wearing this to school tomorrow!” so I guess it was a hit! Easy to follow directions as usual with Lovenotion patterns!!
