[@ignitetheballoon9054]

This is lovely and I can't wait to make one for each of my girls.

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

Thank you! I can't wait to see what you create :)

[@monicac8772]

Cute dress. Looks beginner friendly

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

Thank you Monica 🤍

[@NODNY-v1j]

Does the pattern come with options for sleeve length?

[@guillerminaverant8467]

Beautiful 👗 👗 dresses reminded me of a very expensive brand from Europe.

[@elliejelly24]

How do I make this dress with short sleeves?

[@raisingsixarrows6140]

Can you make this dress with a serger? I just got one and I'm excitied to learn how to make clothes for my children. I have a daughter who is two and six and nine year old boys that really want me to make them clothes

[@kelseaglickman8310]

Do you have suggestions for modifying the sleeves to be shorter?

[@diannedavila5121]

Just purchased & downloaded ! 😊 How did you make the short sleeves?

[@doloresouimet4028]

Super cute and beginner friendly. Have you heard of Project Dress a Girl. This would be perfect except they donot like snaps or buttons. Can it be done without and just and elastic neck line? Thank you for the pattern. Im making one for my Granddaughter

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

Hi Dolores, I love hearing you’re making one for your granddaughter. I haven’t heard of Project Dress a Girl but will definitely look into it - sounds like a great mission 🤍 yes, this could be done with and elastic neck by sewing a channel instead of gathering and adding the neckband!

[@saralemos5490]

Que maravilha!! Como consigo o Molde? Muito obrigada

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

Hi! The pattern is available at rooneyclothing.com :) Oi! O padrão está disponível em rooneyclothing.com :)

[@lorealbolden1103]

This dress is beautiful! I'm a mother. I'm beginning my sewing journey. I have a son & daughter. For my daughter I would like to make simple, easy, long sleeve, modest dresses. Is there a pattern you can recommend? Thank you.

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

Congratulations on beginning your own sewing journey! The Ola dress in this video is a great beginner place to start!

[@helle1262]

[@mercy4085]

How much fabric does it need?

[@heartlandscolorcarecarpetd1157]

I loved your patterns just can’t bring myself to make them for myself :( since there is so much more fabric is requires for us adults :( :(

[@heartlandscolorcarecarpetd1157]

This dress doesn’t have a projector file ?

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

The pattern now comes with a projector file! Email me to let me know if you haven't got it and I'll get it to you.

[@zmlhz1352]

Please write the date and video that the size of this dress is for how many years

[@rangaroo6385]

Omg i never knew pockets were so time consuming to make 😅

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

They can be! Just a lot of little steps add up :)

[@angelam.3830]

I really wanted to love this pattern & the tutorial (both the video and written instructions upon purchase) but it is very difficult to follow. Instructions aren’t detailed enough, and the zoomed in video angles make it difficult to see the exact orientation. I’m really disappointed.

[@RooneySewingPatterns]

@@angelam.3830 hey Angela, thanks for the feedback. I’d love to help you with this - mind emailing me and we can work it out? 🤍

[@angelamcgovern1525]

This dress reminds me of the days when patterns were not available and what mums made out of sacks, sorry but definitely not a dress for today

[@christinawallace8420]

You’d be surprised how in style this is. I’m from the south and moms dress little girls in this style(which feels a bit like smocked dresses) all the time!

[@thepoppy1949]

I think this is perfect for a little girl, a classic sweet dress.

[@crashofthemoons]

Who are you to say what is for today and what is not? Also no one asked

[@angelamcgovern1525]

@@crashofthemoons and you are?, I am allowed my opinion. I’ve not seen this on the cat walks in Europe this season, I live in the uk, I guess our fashions are different

[@nellsembroidery3047]

This dress is lovely! I think you just adapted to an era (now) where kids are not dressed like kids. Some little girls are wearing crop tops. Like what is that.
