We had the opportunity to test the add on pack for the Camellia Dress by Phat Quarters. Ansley was thrilled to have a shirtdress and loves the sweet style. The add on pack features three quarter sleeves with banded or ruffles to finish, darling pockets, and a ruffle on the skirt. I sewed the size 8 based on her chest measurement. I love the darts to shape the waist and the collar. When I make another I will add lightweight interfacing in the collar so it keeps its shape a little better. Fabric is a sateen cotton bedsheet. I used the hemmed side edge for the bottom ruffle of the dress and saved myself a lot of pressing and hemming time. :)
The pattern has clear instructions with helpful text and photos. The pattern can be printed in layers and assembled by trimming the pages or overlapping them. It also has a cut chart for some of the rectangular pieces.
The dress came together well and has been worn often since I finished it in the fall. I meant to blog this months ago before the worst cold/flu season I can remember. Last week was the first week we have all been healthy at the same time since Thanksgiving (with the exception of the week between Christmas and New Years!). Some of my piano students have been sick the last two weeks and I really hope we don't get sick again! Anyway, I'll leave you with a bunch of pictures from our fun photo shoot in the fall leaves. Thanks for stopping by!
