Well, I’ve only sewn one Oliver+S pattern so far, but it was impeccable, so I don’t see any disappointment headed my way! 😉

Thanks, Rachel! We were pretty pleased with ourselves on that :). Missed the bodice side seam by 1/16 – 1/8″, but CLOSE!

Good for you, Chelle!! We REALLY need to get together and bounce some ideas off each other . . .as for the fabric? It was upholstery fabric from Hancocks when it was going out of business.

Oh, how CUTE! CL is darling. =) I love the volume of the skirt- and the fantastic stripe-matching on the skirt side seams! I bought the book as soon as it was available… I love changing patterns into my own designs. =)

Well I am giddy about the book. I think I am ready to start drafting changes to dress patterns. As right now I havie been looking everywhere for a good skate dress to use with woven fabrics. Love the dress and must tell me what fabric you used.

I love this dress. Super cute with the stripes and the pleats. It’s pretty exciting to bs able to make whatever you want and know there’s a good reference guide to see you through it!
