June 15, 2026 - Tutorial pg69 should say 'Complete a FBA if you FULL bust size is 3 or more sizes bigger than your upper bust size.'
I wasn’t sure of this dress at first because of all the volume but once I discovered that you could have tiebacks, it was a winner!! I love that you can also have pockets because who doesn’t love a pocket. I went with my trusty snaps instead of buttons as I’m not a fan of buttonholes.
I will try tomake the facings wider at the top of the dress. I do not like to see the underside of the fashion fabric when the dress is not buttoned to the very top.
I also do not like an exposed yoke on the inside. I faced the yoke using the burrito method. Worked great. Gave it a finished look.
Would tidy up the neckline better. I cut my own. Also no bust darts so put them in myself, also back darts as bodice very baggy. This was my first PDF pattern, not sure I'd do another.
Hi there. Thank you for your feedback. This is an easy-fit design, as outlined on the website, so it’s intentionally drafted without darts for a more relaxed silhouette that we prefer at Pattern Emporium. It sounds like you’ve tailored it to suit your preferences, which is one of the great things about sewing for yourself.
I have completed the Take the Chance Tier Dress and really enjoyed the process. Instructions and pattern were easy to follow. I have already worn the dress to a concert with comments from family and friends on the fit and style.. Definitely make this one again.
Pattern Emporium patterns will always turn out well. Patterns are beautifully designed, instructions are exceptional and garments made come out so professionally, one cannot believe you did that!!
My dress came out beautifully and I always get a “really, you made that”??
Highly recommended.
