JOCELYNE Polo dress
Knit dress with a short set-in sleeve and polo-style collar. Princess seams make adjustments much easier. The hem hits above the knee and the sleeve is finished with a band. You can wear the dress with Stella or Clara shorts.

I just completed my JOCELYNE dress and I am beyond thrilled. I am a visual learner and the video provided was excellent and easy to follow.
I will consider sizing down on my next dress but know that this dress is roomy and comfortable for bowling in! 🥰
This dress is awesome! As a person with an athletic build, I struggle to find patterns that fit me well. This dress is a game changer. The shoulders fit me perfectly. Although the dress does start out a bit boxy, it is easy to fit thanks to the princess seams. I've gotten lots of compliments on how high end the dress looks...and I have to agree :)
Importantly, it performs well too! After playing a round of golf in it, I can say it doesn't shift or budge!
Finally! A golf dress pattern. I made the dress 3 times from the pdf. 2 for me and one as a gift.
The dress itself is a bit boxy and long, so from fit perspective I brought in the waist line 1/2" on all the pattern pieces and shortened it by 3 ". They turned out perfect! I also made the compression shorts from another pattern because I shortened the dress so much.
The instructions are a bit light on details but as an experienced sewer I had no problem. It would be challenging for a first time sewer. Also I can't imagine making this without a serger.
So one star off for boxy fit and directions that caused me to think. 🙃
