      Such a lovely dress

      I love sewing this dress for both my girls ! Instructions were well detailed and I learned new skills :) I chose a poplin fabric (to match a dress I made for myself) and a plumeti lining. Would definitely recommend Ikatee’s pattern (and I have a few others to try !)

      Beautiful dress and clear instructions

      I loved making this dress. I don’t have lots of experience sewing but found the instructions easy to follow and learned new things. I will definitively make more dresses and perfect my skills.

      Beautiful little dress - super chic

      Such a lovely style of dress - I made it in a double gauze which worked really well. The instructions were clear and the video really helped, I liked that the video has chapters so you can go straight to the section you need. As I made the smallest size, I followed the alternative method for bagging out and finishing the bodice. I struggled with the small seam allowances when putting the little bow ties together, but got there in the end. Will definitely be making this again.

      Great pattern = High quality, beautifully finished garment!

      This is my first attempt at sewing clothes for my girls, ages 8 and 11. I struggled with the written instructions for the half lining. I have never tried the burrito method before. Thankfully there is an instructional video that shows how to construct the entire dress. Even though the video is in French, I found the visual instruction very easy to understand. I really like the way the dress is finished with the half lining and french seams. I have a serger but I found the finishing methods for the Violette dress produces a more polished, quality garment.

      Adorable dress

      The instructions are well written and easy to follow. I used a 100% cotton fabric and fashioned a dress for a two year old using the smallest pattern outline, size 3.
