GET INSPIRED #SewingRosa
I had never made a shirt or shirt-dress before, and this pattern was so clear and helpful. I’ve only made a few garments before, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the result of this one! Second Tilly pattern I’ve used (I do have a few in the queue…) they are just brilliant. Definitely will make this again in another fabric…
Hi Harriet, thanks for your amazing review! It’s so great to hear how much you enjoyed making the pattern. Rosa is an advanced-level pattern, so you should be very proud of yourself for sewing such a beautiful dress! I hope you enjoy wearing it. Happy sewing, Virginija x
This is the best dress Iv ever made, it fits perfectly and looks gorgeous. Will definitely be shopping with you again🙂
Hi Sue, thank you so much for your amazing feedback! Isn’t it the best feeling when your garment turns out this stunning? I hope you enjoy wearing your beautiful Rosa dress - happy sewing! Virginija x
The style is so versatile and perfect for what I had in mind. It was my most ambitious sewing to date but I took my time and nailed it., I left the pockets off as I thought for the print I used it looked better without them. What do you think?
WOW! Your Rosa is gorgeous, Debbie! We think leaving the pockets off was a clever choice for your print. Can't wait to see what you make next. Happy sewing! Abi x
Decided to make a toile for the first time ever as my hip size is larger than the largest size on the pattern (at the time of purchase) and waist a few sizes smaller, used leftover fabric from other patterns and it turned into one of my favourite things I’ve ever made! It looks really flattering on me and the instructions were so easy to follow
Hi Joanne, thank you so much for your lovely review! :) I’m so happy to hear your toile turned into one of your favourite makes - that's a bonus! It’s great that the instructions were easy to follow and that you were able to adjust the pattern to fit you perfectly. Happy sewing and enjoy wearing your beautiful Rosa! Virginija x
I debated on getting this pattern as my chest measurement was just outside the size range. So glad I took the chance as this pattern had all the details I was looking for, princess seams, yoke, and a proper collar with a stand. The only adjustment I had to make was to "skimp" on the seam allowance in the bust area. I completed a top in a fine wale printed corduroy and another in a plaid flannel. Currently working on a denim dress where the top stitching will really shine. Have cut out another dress in Springy cotton print, planning on a short sleeve. This pattern will work for all seasons and the princess seams make fitting so simple. Your instructions are superb, and the photos are so helpful a confident beginner could certainly handle this pattern. This is the second Tilly pattern I've used and loved (Coco dress/top).
Thank you so much for your review, Diane! I'm so glad you took the chance on this pattern, and it's amazing to hear how versatile it’s been for you with all the different fabrics and styles! I’m so happy you found the instructions and photos helpful - can't wait to see your denim dress with all that topstitching! Happy sewing! Virginija x
