Definitely not for me. I think it would be quite unflattering for my pear shaped body. 🥴

I love the pattern! The large look really nice! I love how clear you are on your reviews. The medium also looks nice!

Love you reviews, especially because we are almost the same size. I too, love dropped crotch pants. Looking forward to your next video 😊

I like the first dress in size large. I like the longer length too. I really like the pattern

Hi Gini, I liked the first dress in large and think the longer length is perfect😊. You have such a great imagination, some of the dresses you pick just don’t appeal to me at all, then you make them and they are just lovely on you. This was one of those, and I really like it with the scoop neck and the softer sheet fabric. I am looking forward to the pinafore style dress too. Also, I am looking forward to you styling the drop crotch pants. I spent way too much time reconfiguring some linen thrifted pants. I wanted to add a darted lower leg with a piping finish. Sometimes I struggle with the simplest things, especially since I already made the same type changes to another pair of thrifted linen pants. I also hemmed a rayon knit dress to a sleeveless layering piece. Sewing the lightweight stretch rayon was a real challenge. I managed to get it tied up in the needle/bobbin slot on both my serger and regular machine.😁 I even had both machines set on light knit fabric settings. I hope to finish my pants hems tomorrow. I think I need to cut out a simple dress top pattern and adjust it for future sizing of other pattern patterns. I really enjoyed seeing you today. As always thank you so very much for your excellent tutorials and pattern reviews.🤗💕

Hmm--that is a tough one. They both look terrific, but I think I'll vote for the large based on your comment about feeling tight on the shoulders/back. Just a firm no for that feeling. I like the longer length as well -- just because that is what I would choose. And yup - the 4th was pretty horrible as a fellow dog-owner. We slept in the basement and watched 30Rock, but my old husky/shep's ears were alert the whole time. She was scared despite tramadol. Whew. Glad its over. Hope your new dog bowl is keeping your pup happy though!

Cute dress . I’d actually make the arms longer- elbow length . No showing the upper arm for me

Hey Gini, for what it's worth, I think the fabrics are having a big impact on the two dresses---the slight crispness of the linen check, to me, is better for the TropicalResearch top and the soft bedsheet gives the sz L dress some fluidity the linen doesn't have.... I admit my bias (haha-snort! sewing humor!) though--I much prefer fluid drapey dresses. Thanks for scouting out the lesser known patterns :)

I like the medium, large makes it look funky

I love learning about a new indie pattern company. I am adding this to my list to investigate. Thank you for sharing. BTW-The bias binding looks so lovely on your neckline.

Love them both, and the top, but I agree about the first looking the best. Stains and holes on clothes are just an opportunity for visible mending! 😂 That dress would look even more amazing with some fun fabric scraps or just stitching. 1930s house dress was definitely not what came to mind when you showed the plaid version, but cracked me up.

Hi, yes to the large and longer style......the shorter, smaller version too conservative for you

I think the large has a more modern look , the shape reminds me a bit of the Eva Tessuti pattern, but that has more pieces. I like yours and will buy it, Bridget

Definitely the larger dress all round

❤ Thank you!

You always have such great patterns! Totally my style, I really look forward to you seeing what comes each week!

I love your white lace ups! Gorgeous x

Yes, I totally agree that the size L is a winner - so cute on you!

I love both dresses on you especially the blue check fabric. Oh and you know I can hardly wait for your drop crotch styling 😂

This pattern also comes in a 2X to 6X, so it's really size inclusive! It's next on my sewing list so thank you for the review.

I agree, I love longer length!!!

Yes to large

Thanks for info. Love your shoes

I have been looking at these patterns and I’m very happy to see these reviews. I think the L in the longer length is best, although both look lovely. I agree about the seam allowance. When I took pattern drafting in college, decades ago, I think I would have failed the course if I didn’t include the seam allowance on every single pattern piece. It drives me mad to have to search through pages of instructions to find this basic and crucial information!

The first dress looks so comfy in the size large. I want to make one. Thanks for the nice video.

I will have to check out her patterns I like that smock dress. Thanks for digging up these interesting things for us.

There is much on my to do/finish table. I love the pattern suggestions as I had not heard of this Me and Miss Moore before. I will be looking to her (Trish, I believe) for future makes. I am taller/longer in the torso, so there may need to be some adjustments. Any others who are over 5' 10" and what adjustments you have made. I am not larger than an XL, but often go up for ease. TYia

I love your necklace! I may be that the bedsheet version is more drapey than the linen, but I agree I think the large is more your style and it might be more comfortable. I would make it much shorter and wear it with trousers and I would never have considered it before watching this video.

Do visible mending and style it up! It’s really cute!

I just picked up Simplicity 9954 pretty similar since JoAnns had the $1.99 sale.

Hi, Gini! Love the dress and the other patterns you showed look interesting too. I like the blue check on you, pretty shade of blue😊

Got to love a 3/8" seam allowance. Drives me crazy to have to play Sherlock to find it on the written pattern. I think size M looks great and I prefer longer. Thank you for this review.

Great pattern! Thanks for the review. I agree that the first version is better in both length and fit. Not that there's anything wrong with a 1030's housedress vibe... I wish the seam allowance was on EVERY PAGE of a pattern...

Thank you, Gini! All super cute patterns, yes the size large dress has a cooler vibe! Can you die it and patch it ala Magnolia Pearl? There is nothing wrong with the size medium, it just looks more conventional. ❤

The first 'muslin' dress in size Large looks best. Thanks for your solid review.

I love everything about the 1st dress on you. Beautiful!

Hi Gini! Thank you for your video! ❤️ I Like the L-version of your dress more and I think the longer one is great. Today I ´m trying to sew a dress with the Opal Annie „Gracie“ pattern and then layer it with a TG „April“ jacket. You are such an inspiration for me and I thank you so much! ❤️

Hi Gini, nice to see you. The red skirt wasn't so bad, remember the bubble skirts from the 80's? 😂😂😂. Love the changes you made to the blue version though. I made a toile out of an old linen bed sheet once that actually turned out to be one of my favourite dresses I've made ever. I'm looking forward to your next video, that dress looks right up my alley. See you again soon!

I love the mersis and I'm inspired to make it. Do you think this would work with a fabric that has some stretch? ....either a woven with some stretch or a knit?

Hey Gini I was going to sew this pattern and now I’m kind of apprehensive about sewing it. Would you be willing to do a sew along and show the changes that you made.

The sheet skirt is so darn cute!

Hi Gini😀, that red one was pretty awful. Very honest of you to share such an unflattering fit. The blue one looks so great on you. I liked it best with the Tropical Research top. You are amazing when you can take something like the first try and turn it into such a fabulous skirt. When you said you would be sewing the skirt, I went to my closet for a couple of linen mix skirt/coulotte type things that I hadn’t been wearing. Mostly because I didn’t know how to wear a gathered waist that has a iwide silhouette . The tops you showed were great. I played around with a few items, but will need to shorten an existing top or make a new one. Thank you again so much for sharing your process and inspiring me. 🤗🩷

I too love those pockets. I like the drape of the cotton sheet and think that maybe a rayon challis might work. Or tencil. Something with some weight. Thanks for posting the red one too.

Cute pattern---I do love all the bells & whistles. (And would never make it for myself !) Good save with the sizing :) I also completely appreciate the red poly taffeta version --please show us what you turn it into

I'm going to try this! I think a washed duppioni could be very nice; the washing softens it up a lot so it can drape and gather more gracefully.

IMHO love all the shirts, don’t love the half tuck, would like to see the choo choo tee tucked in to show off the elastic around your pretty waist. Love the blue on you and surprise surprise I like this skirt you should be the model for this on the pattern front!

love the boots :) where are they from?

Love the way you styled the blue skirt. Good for you for making it again. I would have thrown the red version in the trash and quit. Well really I would have taken red one apart and used fabric for something else.

Your blue version is totally awesome and looks amazing with the boxy top and the tank top. They were my fave styling-wise. This is so not my vibe, but I absolutely love it on you, Gini!!!

Thanks for the good info, again. It always comes down to the fabric, for me. Sew on!
