I love this versatile pattern for dresses and tops. So easily to customize with different fabrics to give you a boutique look. I love that Carla breaks down how much fabric you need for each part. This makes it easy to customize with different fabrics. You can never go wrong with any of her patterns.

Great pattern, I've made 3 so far. Very thorough instructions and big size range, makes this a great deal. I recommend a bundle pack though, because everyone of Carla's patterns have been awesome! This is very versatile and it is a great starting out point for your own designs. Great for beginners and more experienced sewers.
