Bundle | Entice Me Dress & Cowl Back Add-On PDF Patterns

School holidays so not had time to sew. Preparing for all the grandchildren to return to school again, then there will be no stopping me.

Entice Me Dress and Cowl Back add on was such an easy make. Instructions we’re clear . Looks great. I merged 2 sizes as I am bigger in hip area. I didn’t do cowl on this one as I ran out of fabric. But it was such a good fit. Will be doing more

Sewed together beautifully

Pros: Lots of options to make the dress look different each time you sew it. Body of the dress fits well. The styles can go from casual to evening depending on necklines/sleeves / collar options. Very versatile pattern.
Cons: I made the dress with mid-high front neckline and the higher of the two cowl drapes in the back. The body of the dress fits great. However, the weight of the cowl tends to pull the dress off the shoulder. I had to sew in some ribbon to attach to my bra strap in order to keep the dress on my shoulders. The dress may have had a better fit if I had sewn it with the the round high neckline in the front instead of the mid-high neckline. Also, I found that the way the facing is added to the front neckline that it gapes slightly in the front. The pattern states not to pull the fabric, but I think a slight pulling of the facing / piping would make for a better fit.

I love this pattern bundle. So many variations and so much you can do made my first one as a toile and can’t wait to make the real garment. Only one thing I would ask is that for the cowl combo there is no neck band for the lowest neck option shame really as I would love to do it with a lower front rather than the mid one
