New to PE and pdf patterns. Love having all the sizes to keep. The fit and sizing are better than most of the European brands. (I’m in the UK) The videos and test pieces shown make them an easy decision.
Hi Dawn! Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled that you’re enjoying the Wanderlust Dress and finding the fit and sizing so helpful. It’s great to hear you’ve had a smooth experience with PE and PDF patterns. Welcome to the PE family, and happy sewing!
I love the pattern. I have made 3 pieces. I also purchased another pattern from you this week and it very similar. Both good.
I love this beautiful pattern. Very easy to sew. I used Discover Fabrics called Breathe Tek Athletic, Stained Glass Flowers.
I have sewed one for my self and my sister in law and really love the pattern. I love how the dress fits. Very happy with the pattern. Instructions are very easy to follow.
This is my absolute favorite pattern of all the patterns from all the companies that I own.
it’s super comfortable. Feels like wearing pajamas- but looks really lovely. It’s also easy to sew- and I’ve never had any issues.
I have pockets from the reconnect cardi.
I’ve made this with floorlength long sleeve, knee link sleeves, and my newest favorite makes it high low- so it’s shorter in the front in the back. So easy to alter and make them personalized.
Wow Amanda, thank you for the amazing review and the fabulous photos of your dresses! We're beyond thrilled to hear that the Wanderlust Dress is your absolute favorite pattern. We love that you've added your own personal tweaks! Your creativity shines through with each version you've made. Thank you so much for sharing!
