Pattern and final product met all my expectations. It has everything - perfectly oversized, pocket, many options and much more. The patern has perfect potential for color blocking, playing with many different fabrics u name it.
I made the top for my teenage daughter and she loves it! This is not my first time sewing swimwear, but I learned some new techniques from the helpful tips in the pattern that I will continue to use. Will definitely make this pattern again!
I have been looking for a dress pattern - this is it! I love the shape it creates, a comfortable but defined waist, a beautiful bodice with back detail and fun skirt! I finally HAD to wash my dress and am dying to get it back, I am already planning 3 more!!
This pattern was easy to follow and true to size. It turned out great! I would highly recommend Melilot!
I really enjoyed this pattern -- it gave enough of a challenge (I would describe myself as an 'experienced beginner'!), but completable. The instructions were clear and easy to follow and I really like the final garment :)
