      Superbly comfortable dress!

      Love my Dakota dress which I made up in medium weight jersey in emerald green with white spots - used the placket but just added buttons as doesn’t need an opening! I lined the bodice to give a clean finish. However I don’t personally like high/low hems and so traced off the skirt and balanced up to the low level. Worked perfectly! Used the large bust option but could still do with a little more room so next time I make this - and I will probably make 2 or 3! - I will do an FBA of maybe 1 inch in total. To be honest it really does fit well but I am just a bit picky on fit. I think most sewists would think it was fine as is! Great dress! Moira

      Free pattern

      The paid patterns were received but I would like instructions for the free pattern McCalla M)7322. I got the pattern but no instructions. Could you send those to me, please. Thanks

      Great dress! Highly recommend!

      I can’t believe there aren’t more reviews for this comfortable, flattering dress. My first Dakota is a scoop neck, sleeveless, full placket dress. It was an easy sew with the elastic gathering method on the skirt. It’s so comfortable and flattering that I reach for it often even though I don’t usually wear dresses. My next Dakota will probably be a tunic and just have the buttons sewn through both placket layers (skipping buttonholes). Might try the solid front tunic version for my daughter. As always with Sinclair, great directions and drafting. You’ll be glad you gave the Dakota a try!
