I loved making this dress and it is easier than it looks. I made it to take on holiday and had so many positive comments. I have even had strangers stopping to ask me in the street about it! I made it using a viscose material for the drape and breathability. I will definitely make this again and shorten the body further for a personalised fit.
Wow, Lydia - we’re thrilled your Seren got so many compliments! It's stunning, we're not surprised people were stopping you! Love that you’ve found a fabric that drapes beautifully, and shortening for your perfect fit sounds like a fab idea. Happy sewing! Abi x
The dress is really lovely but my pdf A4 pieces did not fit together. I had to go to my local sewing shop and buy a physical copy of the pattern.

This is a great little sundress. I liked that the straps were wide enough to cover the bra straps! Very quick to make. I had to make adjustments to the pattern but these were fairly straightforward. Will definitely make this again.
