I used the Charlie PDF from free member patterns. Just love the cut, and it is so comfy. The dress has lots of insets which doesn't show up on my version, because of the fabric I used. But the rayon challis drapes and is soft, and being comfortable is the most important thing for me. The pattern was easy until I got to the sleeve, in order to make it work I added 5 inch piece section to the back of the sleeve and recut the top of the cap, sewed the sides of the dress up and put the sleeve in like a set in sleeve. Originally the pattern piece was too small for the armhole, which I didn't find out until it was already cut. Has anyone made this dress? Would love to hear about your experience. In the end it is a great pattern and I made it work, and I would make this again in a fabric so you can see all insets.
Very pretty, really love the fabric. Please post a picture
Please post a picture of you wearing it when you can, would love to see how it hangs.
