I chose to sew the penelope to push myself out of my comfort zone. The instructions were well detailed. The zipper went in very easily and the instructions for the split were detailed and worked out perfectly. The dress fits lovely and very happy with the results.

It came together very easily and such a quick sew too.It is satisfying to make a dress that looks and fit great! What a classic! I will be making more of these. I Love ? it!
Beth Barton –
I love this pattern! Really a great pattern for people who are beginners ready to challenge themselves, because this has a ton of beautiful finishing details that really enhance your understanding of garment construction. The fit is classic and wonderfully curvy, and perfectly appropriate for a night out or a day at the office, depending on fabric choices.

Instructions are clear for this fitted yet comfortable dress, love the scoop front, back and fully lined bodice for a clean finish.

Super cute dress and a pretty easy sewing pattern to follow. Perfect for someone that has little to no garment sewing experience and wants to make their first dress. The instructions are really detailed which was great (Ive never seen patterns with as much thought put into the instructions before which was wonderfully surprising). The instructions have links to videos if someone needed help understanding a specific part of the process. The dress can be worn to work, church, or a night out (depending on what fabric is used). I would recommend this pattern to anyone wanting a comfortable and classic looking dress. I will definitely be making myself a couple more dresses using this pattern.
