Customer Reviews
The pattern is so easy to understand and to follow. I made 2 and I think it won't be the last time.
A lovely dress that is so simple to sew. Very clear instructions. I have made a maxi version for myself and my teenage daughters have asked for one each too! A great design for all body types and ages!
Lovely dress. Bodice a tit bit short.
The pattern was easy to make. My first outfit I’ve made and is wearable. Instructions were spot on. Will buy more patterns. Thank you Ellie
I love this pattern. The directions were easy to follow and it didn’t take long to complete. It fits perfect, with making adjustments, using the measurements as listed on the pattern. It’s so comfortable and I will be making more.
I made up my first Be Graceful last night and wore it today. It went together easily and I graded between sizes according to my measurements. The finished dress fit perfectly. I love the shape of the pockets! They are pointed vs rounded and fit my phone without it trying to fall out. While sitting my phone stayed right next to my leg! That pattern piece will stay out on my cutting table for frequent use!!! I felt great in my new poly rib knit dress and I will be making more!
Great directions and wonderful pattern!!
Extremely well written pattern that's a breeze to follow. I made three different dresses.
At midi length with 3/4 sleeves it's easy and very practical to wear while still being cozy enough for fall.
I've taken off a star because the finished product was not a perfect fit for my modestly generous bust. Once made up and worn, It doesn't seem quite long enough in the front despite my following the measurements and sizing chart closely, and I don't generally have to work hard for my clothes to fit my chest--the dress tends to ride up and fit more like a baby doll/borderline maternity wear than I think is intended. I still like it, but I'll need to fiddle around with extending the bodice to make it work better. A 1/4" elastic was more flattering on me than the 1/2", and seemed to reduce the unwanted effect. Still, the instructions are crystal clear, the dress is easy to make, and I'll try it again.
