Olive Curve dress & blouse pattern

Olive Dress of my dreams

I absolutely love this dress, it’s so beautiful and the options for creative colour picks are endless. I find this pattern company really easy to work with, the instructions are clear on my PDF pattern. Lovely dress.

Lovely pattern

I’ve made one Olive Curve blouse since purchasing the pattern and it’s lovely, really nice fitting and I enjoyed making it, I’m not an experienced sewer by any means but the top came together really well and I’m hoping to make another very soon. I made it in quite a structured cotton and it looks very smart.

Excellent top

I’ve made a couple of the Olive blouses in lightweight linen. They’re easy to make, very comfortable, work with pants or skirts, and have a lovely neckline. As the pattern indicated, the v-neck insert can be “fiddly” to put in, but once you do one, it’s a breeze. I shortened it quite a bit—not to crop-top length, but to high-hip to accentuate my hourglass figure. I also lengthened it about an inch above the waistline since I’m tall. So I probably took off two inches in overall length.
