As always, love the options, so far I have done sleeveless, 3/4 sleeve, bateau and scoop neckline. Pretty fun!! I especially love Tami’s purple testing picture!

I’m writing this review while currently wearing my Tessa Sheath dress bodice/Sybil Skirt mashup. I adjusted this with a dartless FBA in the front, and the results were unlike anything else I could find in RTW. I have four of these dresses in my closet and I’m planning many more. I usually leave off the sleeves to make room for blazers and cardigans, but I hope to make one with 3/4 sleeves. When you add this pattern to the Sybil it just gives you so many options. Another great pattern that is so worth the money!

Such a great pattern and a good staple! Fit it perfect and is easily dressed up or down depending on fabric choice. Can be worn year round and I love it! Especially when mashed with Sybil illusion collection – infinite options!

I LOVE the Tessa dress!! I’ve made two so far: one yoke option out of double brushed poly and one with a sweater knit. The DBP dress fits well and I made it before church one morning. It’s a quick sew with easy to follow directions. I should have sized down on the sweater knit as it’s baggier, but still pretty and comfortable. I plan to make lots more of these!

The trimless pages make assembly so easy! Another great pattern for my hard to fit short body. Thank you!

The Tessa dress is a breeze to make, and fit me perfectly! I made one (my first dress ever!) to wear to a wedding, and I got so many compliments on it.

Delighted with this dress! It came together with lighting speed; I made it on a Sunday and wore it to work on Tuesday. My coworkers kept calling me “First Lady!” So glamorous and so comfortable. I made a straight 22 with the midi length.

Such a beautiful pattern for a classic, timeless sheath dress! This pattern went together so quickly, and I was able to get a size large sleeveless from only 1 yard! The instructions are great and the final fit is spot on. Depending on the fabric you use, this could work for a summer sundress, a beautiful business casual dress for the office, or even a formal cocktail dress. I love that it can be mashed with the sybil skirts as well. This will be a staple in my closet for sure!

Such a classic silhouette! I’m able to easily change the look with the addition of a belt, or a side ties, etc. Fantastic pattern for making that little black dress that everyone needs in their closet!

I love how easy this pattern is to make. It can be a simple black dress, or more dressy in a stretch lace. Lots of fun options.

The sheath is my favorite style of dress, and the Tessa Sheath is a great sew! Right after I finished sewing it, my 14 yo son looked at me and said, “Where are YOU going? That dress looks nice.” That was all the affirmation that I needed! Get this pattern if you haven’t already.

I’ve made about ten of the Tessa dresses. My daughter loves a sheath dress for work and she loves this. She’s got elbow sleeves and sleeveless and the latest dress has the waist tie. Such a great pattern with lots of good options.

I love this dress. So quick and easy to put together. I admit, I had to add a dart at the bust but when I figured out what I needed, I quickly sewed up 2 more dresses! LN has the best, easy to understand patterns out there!
