I love this simple pattern. My only complaint, and I'm sure it was my fault, is that I bought WAY too much fabric. When when I was calculating it, I knew it was too much but I kept telling myself it had to be right. I haven't gone back yet to see where I went wrong but so far I've made one Michelle, cut another top and still have enough left for another. Again, I'm sure it was my mistake, just be careful when calculating! It is a lovely top and I cannot wait to gift it to my adult daughter who wanted simple tops for under her blazers. Jalie is still one of my favorite pattern makers.
Beau patron de robe. J'aime bien l'ajout des poches, c'est pratique
I enjoyed sewing the Michelle Dress by Jalie patterns. They offer a full range of sizes and easy to understand instructions. I'm looking forward to making more of Jalie's patterns.
Love love love the beautiful simplicity and drafting for thus pattern. I have already made 3 and have played with the neckline depending on my "play" versus "office" wear.
I found the shoulder straps confusing and they did not turn out even. I think shoukder mismatch was user error and I needed more than the written and picture directions to be successful.
