Lainey Girls Top & Dress

Fun, fast sew!

My daughter hates buttons, tight fits and has been very particular about woven dresses. I’ve had lainey on my “to buy,” list for a while and this one seemed to fit the bill the time not only for what I wanted to make but also for her sensory needs in clothing. It was quick to sew up, the size chart was right on the money for fit and it’s just a really cute, flowy dress. Tutorial photos were perfect, to be honest I barely had to actually read the instruction and overall I thought it was just great.

Beautiful dress

I love this dress with the flutter sleeves and can’t wait to see it on My granddaughter. The pattern was easy to work with with one exception. The dress used in the photos of the sewing steps was very light colored with a pattern and sewn with white thread. Sometimes it was hard to tell what was going on. A solid, rather than print, with contrasting thread would make the steps much more visible. Also, it would be good to know from the very beginning—maybe even front of the pattern, that the skirt will not work on one way prints in the larger sizes.

Love this pattern!

Great pattern. Very easy to use.
