I made the probably unwise decision to sew my dress for officiating my best friend's wedding because I couldn't find any options that worked for the colors, formality, and climate (very tropical! Very humid!) of the big day. So even though I only learned how to sew this year, this pattern and the accompanying videos meant that my dress turned out perfectly for what I needed!
Add in a batik sash and the groom's reject boutonniere and it was perfect for the event. I can't wait to make the other patterns in this bundle and I'm very glad I invested in ordering all of them!
I made this for my uncles wedding, it was perfect, super comfy for the whole day, but equally elegant!
I loved making this dress, it was so easy to follow and the online sew-along made it so enjoyable. A project I would recommend to sewers of all abilities! I can’t wait to make another version!
The pattern and instructions are so clearly set out and easy to follow, it made it a delight to follow along and work from. The hard work in making a pattern available in a broad size range really shows and is really appreciated! The Rossi came out as my summer linen dress of dreams, and customisations make it a really versatile pattern and one I’ll be coming back to time and time again!
This pattern is perfect for so many reasons: A pleasure to make, with techniques that can be successfully tackled by a confident beginner or intermediate sewist. In terms of the design, the princess seams are a dream and create such a flattering shape on the body. The puff sleeves give an extra pinch of drama; overall, the dress is an absolute beauty, a versatile garment that can be worn in casual or more special occasions. Finally, the pattern bundle itself offers various options to customise the design and make more lovely versions!
Highly recommended!
