This dress has been fairly easy to piece and assemble and the instructions have a photo for each step! Cutting the fabric by far is the most time consuming part of this pattern. I am making a second so both of my children can have one. The sizes do seem large (US based) but I haven’t gotten to try it on them yet. They are young so the dress will last a while if it is a bit large, but it also looks like it’s meant to have an oversized fit! Can’t wait to see my daughters’ faces when they see them 🙂
