Where Are the instruction?
Hello, you can find the instructions on our blog. Simply go to blog.fabrics-store.com and use the search box to search "Salome"
I made the 4/6 in a brown heavy linen and absolutely love the result. The only modification I needed to make was taking in the bust darts quite a bit to fit me but other than that it's great.
I had so much fun making this dress. Although I'm not an expert seamstress in any way, the tutorial was pretty easy to follow and the pattern was not too complicated. I was a patterned fabric for the bodice and the button band and a plain cotton for the skirt and the collar, and it's so cute! If I were to do it again tho, I would make the armholes smaller and the skirt a bit shorter, but this is personnal preference. Anyways, fun project, thank you for the pattern!
I had some issues with the button band - the bodice side with the buttons ends up much longer than than the other so that the collar doesnt fit properly and the buttons are off centre. I fixed it as best as I could but I can't figure out where I went wrong! Otherwise great pattern and my friend loves her dress :)
I LOVE this pattern and have made it twice, once in inexpensive cotton as a loose-fitting porch dress and then as a more fitted garment in thread-dyed linen. I will make it at least once more. What I love is how flattering this style is on me making me, hiding the parts I like hidden and playing up my waist when really I don't have much of an hour-glass figure. This dress makes it look as if I do.
