Instant download and all formats included

The download was immediate after purchase and all three file types were in the zip. I printed the Letter version since that's what my printer handles and the pages assembled without any issues. The pattern represents good value for what you get. Already thinking about what fabric to use for a second version.

The cowl depth could be shown with a variation

I found the cowl sat a little deeper than I personally wanted, and I would have appreciated a note on how to adjust the depth. I ended up taking in the front seam slightly and it worked, but some guidance would have been helpful for first-timers. The rest of the pattern is excellent and the dress itself is gorgeous.

Wore it to a summer event, many compliments

I made the Aurora in a printed floral rayon for a garden party and it was exactly right for the occasion. The cowl neck gives it a slightly dressy feel without being formal. Several people asked where I bought it, which is always the best outcome. I'll be making it again in a plain colour for everyday wear.

Alva H.
Lengthened the skirt section for extra coverage

I'm tall and prefer my maxi dresses to skim the floor rather than hit the ankle, so I added five centimetres to the skirt length below the waist. The pattern is drafted so simply that this was very easy to do. The proportions still looked correct after the adjustment. Flexible pattern for different heights.

Nerys W.
Intermediate sewist, really enjoyed this project

The cowl neck is the only technically demanding part and the instructions handle it well. Everything else is relatively straightforward seaming and finishing. I added pockets using a basic in-seam method and they integrated easily. A satisfying project that looks more advanced than it is to construct.
