Tilly and the Buttons Seren Dress Review
247KHey everyone! Today I’m excited to share with you my review of the Tilly and the Buttons Seren Dress pattern. I recently purchased this pattern and made a dress using it, and I can’t wait to tell you all about my experience.
First off, let me start by saying that I am a huge fan of Tilly and the Buttons patterns. I love their fun and modern designs, as well as their clear and easy-to-follow instructions. So when I saw the Seren Dress pattern, I knew I had to try it out.
The Seren Dress is a relaxed and easy-to-wear dress with a loose fit and a gathered waist. It features a button-down front, a collar, and your choice of short or long sleeves. The dress has a slight A-line silhouette, making it flattering on many different body types.
When I received the pattern in the mail, I was immediately impressed with the quality. The paper it’s printed on is sturdy and easy to work with, and the instructions are laid out in a clear and concise manner. I also appreciated that the pattern comes in a wide range of sizes, from UK size 6 to 20.
Now, onto the sewing process. I decided to make my Seren Dress out of a lightweight cotton fabric with a bold floral print. I found that cutting out the pattern pieces was straightforward and easy, thanks to the clear markings and instructions provided. The construction of the dress was also relatively simple, even for a beginner like me.
One thing I really appreciated about the Seren Dress pattern is the attention to detail. The dress features thoughtful design elements such as inseam pockets and a delicate gathered waistline. These little touches really elevate the dress and make it feel special.
As I sewed my dress together, I found that the instructions provided by Tilly and the Buttons were clear and easy to follow. The illustrations were helpful in guiding me through each step of the process, from sewing the collar to attaching the button placket. I also appreciated the tips and tricks provided throughout the instructions, which helped me improve my sewing skills.
One thing I will note is that the Seren Dress pattern does require a bit of patience and attention to detail. The button placket can be a bit tricky to sew accurately, and the gathered waistline requires some precision to get just right. However, with a bit of practice and careful sewing, I was able to achieve a beautiful finished dress.
Once I completed my Seren Dress, I was thrilled with the end result. The dress fit me perfectly and was incredibly comfortable to wear. The relaxed silhouette and gathered waistline are both flattering and forgiving, making this dress a versatile and wearable addition to my wardrobe.
Overall, I highly recommend the Tilly and the Buttons Seren Dress pattern to sewists of all skill levels. Whether you’re a beginner looking to improve your skills or an experienced sewer looking for a fun and stylish project, this pattern is sure to delight. The design is modern and wearable, the instructions are clear and helpful, and the end result is a beautiful dress that you’ll be proud to wear.
So there you have it – my review of the Tilly and the Buttons Seren Dress pattern. I hope you enjoyed hearing about my experience with this lovely pattern, and I encourage you to give it a try for yourself. Happy sewing!
