I made my wedding dress using the Ella pattern!
I chose the Ella Dress has as the pattern for my wedding dress, and I couldn't have been more happy with the final result! I thought it looked just wonderful in the ivory viscose-silk fabric I had used for it, but am also considering making another version in a printed cotton for everyday wear. Many thanks for creating such whimsical and feminine designs, crafted with much love and attention to detail. I will definitely be coming back for more patterns (I have my eyes on a few already)!

Beautifully drafted, sits perfectly on the body. Made mine with long sleeves and neckline A in cotton voile, omitting the tie. Very pleased with the final result. So comfortable and yet elegant.
One thing to notice is the centre front of the skirt has a seam, so print-matching may be a priority for some. I truly enjoyed taking my time with details like the neckline gathers and hand stitching the bias binding. With this pattern, you can trust that the final garment will be worth the effort, and it's a wonderful process!
