    Just a begginer

  2. Katie

    Easy to follow instructions for both knit and woven. The style is unique and comes together nicely.

    I love how there are pattens pieces for both knit and woven, making it extra versatile! That showstopper v-neck is my favorite part. I can’t wait to make a top version for my wardrobe.

  4. Lisa Smith (verified owner)

    Very easy sew & excellent directions. I sized according to the pattern and it fits perfectly!

  5. Kayla Broady (verified owner)

    I love this pattern! Super cute and so easy.

  6. pamelaholmes713 (verified owner)

    I love this pattern so much! Great instructions (videos for any of the slightly tricky parts) and such a versatile dress or top. I’ve made 3 dresses and 2 tops with plans for even more!

  7. Anne LaPointe (verified owner)

    I love this pattern – it’s easy to sew, has an awesome V-neck, and is comfortable. I’ve made three so far and always get a lot of compliments

    Thanks for the sale. Happy Mother’s Day!

    So far this is my favorite Love Notions pattern! It is a very flattering style, and works with two very different types of fabric so far. The instructions are easy to follow. I’ve made two in the shirt length, and considering a dress next!

    Just purchased this one and hope to use it next week for those left over pieces that done have enough space for a separate sleeve and I already have enough tank styles.

    I like that this pattern can be used for both knits and wovens! The neckline is beautiful and I like the look of the sleeves too.

  12. Gail Glaneman (verified owner)

    Followed recommended sizing and was thrilled with the fit. Nice flow, no gaping, and since the full-bust-adjustment was built in, I could use the pattern immediately. Ready to cut out two more now!

  13. Stacey Gambetti (verified owner)

    WOW, I love that this Vivace Dolman comes together easily, even for a beginner. I love that I can get different looks by changing from knits to wovens. Thanks LN 🙂

    First time using a Love Notions pattern and only second time sewing for myself, so I was really pleased at how well this top went together. The instructions for the v-neck were easy to follow (although why are the pieces referred to as facings in the pattern pieces and lining in the instructions?). Will definitely be making more of these tops.

  15. Olga du Plessis

    Awesome pattern. The fit is perfect and it sews up like a dream. Well worth the investment!!

  16. Josephine (verified owner)

    This top is so great, but it really matters what fabric you use. I’ve tried it in fabrics that I thought had plenty of drape and the pleat just didn’t lie nicely over my belly. It needs the drapiest fabric to work well and when it’s right it’s SO right!

  17. TRACEY Lynn FEARON (verified owner)

    The Vivace Dolman is a great beginner to advanced beginner pattern. The pleat took a little fussing but turns out great and leaves you with confidence to make again. I used a medium knit with drape and love it. The next one I try I want to extend the sleeve length for winter.

    A flattering fit with great directions – looks great!
