Really need help with the skirt cut out. It says to cut E- back skirt only 1 that to on fold and part F- front skirt 2 on face to face. Do i need to make a cut on the line in between which says "center back on fold of fabric? Your help would be really appreciated.

Yes, to cut the front and back pieces, you will need to cut, or place the fold along the appropriate line listed on the pattern piece.

When making the Emily Dress, is the IL020 POWER PINK Softened - 100% Linen - Light (3.7 oz/yd2) going to be too sheer for a late afternoon outdoor wedding, or is it sufficient weight as to not be terribly see-through? I plan on lengthening the dress to a midi or maxi length. I love the look of the light weight! Suggestions would be appreciated!! Thank you in advance...

JENNY • September 14, 2022

Generally, lighter colors in the IL020 fabrics are a little see through, so most like to line their garments in this fabric, or wear a slip for dresses.

Also having problems with the Princess seams

Looks like a nice pattern, but the princess seams did not work for me. The smaller piece was too big to align with the other one and the marks don't align. I would be happy about any tips

Struggling with princess seams

I am trying to sew this pattern, and I don't understand how to make princess seams work. I matched the notches and used the recommended seam allowance, but I get a sharp corner at the top, and because of this I have trouble matching the sleeve to the armscye.

Great pattern

I enjoyed sewing this pattern and it came out lovely! Simple construction with beautiful results. I had a small problem aligning the skirt to the bodice. The bodice ended up being a tiny bit wider than the skirt so I had to fold the narrowest part down to make it work. It could have been my fault in over- or underestimating the seam allowance. I also had to adjust some of the pattern pieces slightly, f.ex. the back bodice was wider in the shoulders than the front bodice pieces.

I really enjoyed making this pattern !... thank you very much for all your guidance ... I added pipping on the sleeves and around the collar and added pockets on both side..

Lucy • April 2, 2023

Love this pattern!

I knew I wanted to sew the Emily dress as soon as I saw it! The instructions are easy to follow (and I am a beginner in sewing) and it was a joy to sew. Thanks for the free pattern fabrics-store, you guys are amazing!
