Customer Questions and Answers
I keep getting advertisements for this dress as a free pdf, along with a number of other patterns here on the site - but none of them are actually free? Even the comment sections and in the FS team replies they often mention them being free. I'm confused and disappointed. FS please stop running these adds.

Thank you for notifying us. I will send this information to our Technical Support.
Hi, I'm a little nervous to make the button closure on the back...do you know if it will fit over the head if I skip the closure and do a regular neckline? Thanks!
F|S Team
If the pattern has been designed for a closure, then the neckline will be too small to fit over most heads.
Made this dress for a friend. Lots of sewing experience (mostly quilting) but not a lot of garment sewing. I was really nervous to start because the finishes on the example garment looked very nice. and POCKETS. but the whole thing was relatively painless and the end product was beautiful. MY friend wore the dress to work today and it was so nice to see her enjoy it. Sizing was a bit large BUT that may be due to me not being experienced or being anxious it would not fit. it's also meant to be a bit oversized, i believe. we did take up the bodice a few inches.
Made a size 12/14 using old bedsheets and it fits well on me. I love the minimal design. Thank you for sharing the free pattern and instructions
This is gorgeous! The beautiful fabric suits this pattern so well and looks wonderful on you. I am always on the look out for sheets that I can use too. Well done.
I shortened the bodice a bit. It's beautiful and simple and so comfortable on hot days
This is my take on this dress. I used a thrifted curtain. Love the simplicity and elegance of it.
Lengthened sleeves, shortened bodice. Donna dress pattern
