Excellent
Perfect fit and an enjoyable sew. Most fiddly bit was sewing in the elastic. I made the mistake of only cutting one skirt piece as the cutting diagram only showed the pattern piece once (unless I'm mistaken). I should have read what was printed on the pattern piece though so my mistake

Lovely dress!
I made this in a floral rayon jersey knit, sleeveless and without the placket. It fits perfectly! I will plan to make it again in a solid fabric, and make it with the placket! Another home run from Sinclair Patterns!

Superbly comfortable dress!
Love my Dakota dress which I made up in medium weight jersey in emerald green with white spots - used the placket but just added buttons as doesn’t need an opening! I lined the bodice to give a clean finish. However I don’t personally like high/low hems and so traced off the skirt and balanced up to the low level. Worked perfectly! Used the large bust option but could still do with a little more room so next time I make this - and I will probably make 2 or 3! - I will do an FBA of maybe 1 inch in total. To be honest it really does fit well but I am just a bit picky on fit. I think most sewists would think it was fine as is! Great dress! Moira
