Everything about this is a win. My standard pattern adjustment is to shorten the length, and the instructions were perfect.
It is a pattern with simple elegance, and the style is one of my favorites. This will quickly become a TNT for me.
Fast and easy to sew, this dress has a very flattering shape. I hope Jalie will release more everyday garments, because I have come to really trust the brand and, even as a beginner, I get great results with them! Three garments, three successes.
I whipped up a Rachel the day before going to a sewing gala event and it was such a hit!! I used an ITY that had been in my stash for a few years and it really worked very well. I had so many compliments on my dress! Rachel is a fast sew. The most time consuming part for me was cutting it out - there were only 2 or 3 pieces, but because the front panel is quite wide, I had to relocate my cutting station to accommodate it. With so many options, and being so quick, this is definitely a pattern worth having in your stash!
I love this pattern. I've made this four times now and none of them are the same version. The fit is amazing for me (size S) and my daughter (size P). She has requested a few more which is amazing because this teen is very picky! :)
