How do I download my PDF Pattern?
First, we suggest creating an account in our shop so you can access all your files in one place at any time!
After you place an order, you will land on a page with a custom download link. You can download your pattern then, or use the link included in the order confirmation sent via email. If you don’t receive a download link via email, please check your junk mail as it may have been rerouted (and add us to your safe senders list so it doesn't happen again!)
Am I charged for taxes?
All Canadians are charged GST and possibly PST depending on where they live in Canada. We do not charge taxes in the US.
Customers based in the EU and UK will also be charged VAT on all goods. Prices are VAT inclusive. Regulations have changed in recent years requiring VAT to be collected based on where the customer resides (and not where the company is located) so we are legally required to collect and remit VAT even though our company is based in Canada. You can read more about the VAT regulations here.
What currency will I be charged in?
Use the dropdown at the top of our menu to choose USD, CAD, AUD, GBP, or EUR dollars to view prices and checkout in the currency of your choice.
For AUD currency, the price you'll see is linked to the daily exchange rate between USD and your currency, which means prices may fluctuate. For our Canadian, EU and UK, customers, we have established set prices that will not vary with exchange rates.
What is your return policy?
We cannot issue refunds on digital goods like PDF patterns and courses if they have been downloaded or watched. If you have not downloaded your file and would like a refund, please contact us.
Customer Reviews
This dress is awesome, as is usual for Deer and Doe patterns and my body. I love the soft feminine shape and the practicality of the front opening as well as the side zip. I'm still breastfeeding so it makes it wearable for me at this point. Since I have a 7 month old, I am making very slow progress on this, but have the bodice just about complete and am soooo over-the-moon happy with it. I decided to make the outer in an embroidered net and the underlayer with a different neckline. I've had to get really creative with the finishing and modified a lot of the construction details to support the new concept, but I'm really happy with how it's working out. I'm excited to get the skirt on soon (and add side-seam pockets!)
I really loved making this pattern. I‘ve made it twice and am very happy with both iterations. I have a G cup so I did a pretty significant full bust adjustment. I didn’t need any other adjustments. I‘ve gotten lots of compliments on these dresses and will definitely use this pattern again!
