Omgoodness those SLEEVES – just all the heart eyes for this feature! Thank you so much again for another perfect VLL pattern. As always with VLL the pattern instructions themselves are very detailed and well written, easy to follow for beginners and experienced sewers alike!

Yes indeed the sleeves are to die for! But the pintucks and oh so twirly skirt are nothing to sneeze at either.
Very clear, easy to follow directions. You get a wonderful heirloom result, even if you’re a beginner. As with any vintage type pattern the iron is your friend. Can’t stress enough the difference pressing as you go will make to your end result.
Best compliments on the dress I made came from my 3 1/2 year old great-niece:
“I feel like a ballerina!” She then proceeded to Weare the dress for the rest of the day, it was not coming off!
The next morning she woke up and the first thing she said was “Where is my dress?”
That right there made all my effort absolutely worth it. Thank you for such an amazing pattern.

This dress is super romantic, I recommend it for events like dinners, weddings or baptisms, beautiful as always! With clear instructions and photos that help a lot.
The sleeves!!! The sleeves alone are all worth it.

Robe idéale et spectaculaire pour une cérémonie. Les explications sont clairs, comm d’habitude. Et ca taille parfaitement.
Peut etre pas adaptée pour une couturière débutante…

Just began cutting out the fabric for this beautiful dress. I’m a little intimidated by the pictures in the waistband, but think it adds such a unique touch!
