  1. Adele Pears –

    This is such a unique dress! The knot seems quite tricky but as usual the instructions are excellent and it comes together quite quickly. It’s going to be my new go-to LBD.

  2. Sabrina Ropp –

    This was a surprisingly easy and fast pattern with beautiful results.

  3. Beth Partain –

    LOVE this dress. So easy and quick to make with stunning results.

  4. Amanda Humbert –

    This pattern is so fun! I loved how thorough the instructions were, they made this pattern so much easier. The fit is perfect!

  5. Cindy Matthijssen –

    What a great pattern! It’s quite something different then the usual dress. It’s also a bit more complicated because of that, but I am so happy with how it turned out. Luckily the instructions are good to follow through if you keep your head with it. I love that it is drafted for both knit and woven, now you can really make all kinds of dresses with just one pattern.

  6. Michele Axmaker Chapman –

    Fun, beautiful dress. Definitely makes you think while making it! Not one to try and quickly make. Very flattering on

  7. Liz Faber –

    This dress tested my ability to follow directions! However, it turns out that I was making it harder than it actually was and once I attempted it, the knot was simple!
    The dress is super comfortable and looks dressy enough to be dressy, but is casual enough to wear around the house.

  8. Shona Young –

    This dress is really flattering on. Great in sleeveless wovens for summer and sleeved knits for the colder seasons. Can be dressed up or down depending on choice of fabrics. A truly great staple with a fun knot design which looks far more complicated than it actually is due to the great step by step process and accompanying video.

  9. Kyra Delaney –

    All in all an easy pattern to follow the directions for. I did the knit version so made a mistake partway as I was just reading the heading for the section (serger) and not the detailed instructions geared towards the sewing machine.

  10. Amelia Keating –

    Really fun sew! I was a little skeptical at first, because I usually wouldn’t make something like this, but I love the way it turned out! I got to learn some new techniques too, which is always fantastic. I feel so gorgeous in it!

  11. Jemma Tredinnick –

    Although this patten looks complicated it is really well explained and comes together very nicely… One of those that looks odd but then you do the final step and like magic you have a beautiful knot! It is very “open” at the front so not for the super modest. I made this out of a cotton I’d had in my stash for 5 years which I bought on holiday in Vietnam. It drapes beautifully and is perfect for a hot summer day. Next one will be for evening wear from something slinky.

  12. Deborah Kraft –

    That was way easier than it looks. I think it took me about the same time assembling the pattern and cutting the pieces that it took me to sew this dress. I love the idea of the knot in the front and especially love the different options you have for length and sleeves.

  13. Tiffany Amos –

    Definitely take your time with this beauty . She is well worth it . It’s an amazing dress to perfect for a date night . I love how the maxi length has a sort of high low effect . Very elegant design. I love it .

  14. Peggy Pazera Cooke –

    Snazzy dress with super trendy knot detail. Getting there can be a little tricky, but take your time and the knot will not disappoint. The dress gives off different vines depending on sleeves vs no sleeves…the addition of sleeves definitely gives it a bit more of an evening feel. Both options are fantastic and sexy.

  15. Sarah Hopkins –

    Wow, I can’t believe I made this! This dress looks great on and is so flattering.

    At several times during the sew, you may not be able to visualise how this is going to come together, but trust the instructions and you’ll be amazed! Only advice, label your pieces clearly!

    Right, I’m off to make more of these!

  16. Jasmine Chandler –

    This is such a lovely pattern, my only recommendation would be to have clearer instruction pictures, that fabric shown was hard to see.

  17. Amber Stefanick –

    This is a flattering, pretty dress. You definitely need to pay close attention every step of the way to make sure it all comes together correctly. I suggest marking all the labels from the patten pieces directly onto your fabric to avoid getting mixed up.

  18. Alisha Sparks Adams –

    Lovely pattern! I made my dress in a very slippery woven and it gave me a fit, but drapes beautifully. I’ll make another, but in knit next time. 😉

  19. Frances Black –

    This pattern was so fun to make. It was released at the perfect time to make my Christmas dress for this year. Definitely an advanced beginner pattern as the knot section can be tricky but after reading the instructions and watching the video it came together beautifully. It drapes lovely in Cotton Lycra, fits well when made to measurements and is a very comfortable wear. It is an extremely flattering fit and I can see me making many more of them for all the seasons!

  20. Luana Furlanetto –

    I love the design of this dress. I made the knit version using a sweater knit. There weren’t difficult techniques to master, but I had to pay a lot of attention at the instruction to make it work. Anyway, I love it!

  21. Pamela Turner Munenrlyn –

    I enjoyed making the dress and I do love it but there were parts where the directions were a little hard to follow but I figured it out after reading it a few times and looking at the pictures.

  22. Kellie Jewell –

    I love how this dress turned out, I’m all ready for the festive season now. You just have to take this dress one step at a time.

  23. Jessica Kaiser –

    I make this dress from a super comfy, soft sweater knit and I loved how it turned out! The directions are truly step by step and will walk you through every part of sewing up your garment. I would say you should have some basic sewing skills before trying this pattern, BUT if you take your time and read instructions closely, anyone can create this dress!

  24. Melissa Clementz –

    I LOVE THIS DRESS! I made it with a sort brushed jersey knit, and it is so comfortable, yet looks so dressed up. I put this dress together in less than one day. A couple snaps added to the bust and skirt opening help with modesty.

  25. Malia Pope –

    Fairly easy sew with knit fabric. Some of the instructions were a little confusing. I would have loved more pictures/diagrams!

  26. Breana Mayfield –

    Love the style of this dress. Neckline is a little low for more modes people but instructions do show how to fix that! Clear tutorial with lots of photos to help!

  27. Kirstie Balding –

    Such an amazing dress which is so flattering with different variations on length/sleeves. It comes together easily if you mark your pattern pieces clearly and you don’t skip reading the instructions fully. Will definitely be making more of these!

  28. Angel Pooley –

    I have to say I did not choose the right fabric for this project which made this so tricky. I got there in the end but I feel like I won’t wear the dress until my stress has calmed 🤪

  29. Melinda Bailey –

    I love the shape and fit of this dress. The construction took some concentration, but with well detailed instructions it came together well. I have already got fabric picked out for another one!

  30. Victoria Fenner –

    This is a cool style of dress, which looks harder to make than it is. Easy to follow instructions and an interesting twist made it a fun sew. I struggled a little with a drapey knit, so I will make this next time in a woven fabric instead!

  31. Chiara Kruse –

    Make a jaw dropping red carpet gown or fun dress for an afternoon at a winery, the cocoon dress is fun sew you can get creative with. Just make sure you take your time to make the knot and all the pieces will magically end up in the correct place.

  32. Hannah Bnana –

    Love this dress. Instructions not 100% sufficient for the overlocker version, had to make it twice, hopefully they have been updated. Photos basically useless since right and wrong side indistinguishable. Would recommend for experienced sewers.

  33. Jessica Kaiser –

    I make this dress from a super comfy, soft sweater knit and I loved how it turned out! The directions are truly step by step and will walk you through every part of sewing up your garment. I would say you should have some basic sewing skills before trying this pattern, BUT if you take your time and read instructions closely, anyone can create this dress!

  34. Abby Batkin –

    After reading the instructions a few times it was reasonably easy to follow. Dress fits perfect on! Gives the illusion of an hour glass figure.

  35. Abby Batkin –

    “Beautiful fit and design. Instructions were a little confusing when it came to the knot but got there in the end. So happy with the finished dress. Figure hugging and sizing is perfect. “
