Skye Sundress

Love this pattern.

Hi Elaine, thanks for your review! I'm so pleased that you love the pattern - yay! Happy sewing! Virginija x

Great pattern!

Such a versatile dress - great for layering and would suit a huge variety of fabrics and patterns.
The instructions were easy to follow, although I did need to use the online help video for the binding part (I had never done this before). I already have my second one cut out!
I would love to see a hack for adding a lining to the bodice too though.

Hi Amy, thanks so much for your review! I’m so happy you found the instructions clear and easy to follow. It’s great that you see how versatile the pattern is - playing around with different fabrics is the best way to get a unique look each time! :) Can’t wait to see how many more Skye dresses you make! Happy sewing! Virginija x

A fun sew

I am a newbie sewist and really appreciated this pattern. I learned a lot of new things for me and it was easy to figure out techniques by following the clear instructions. The dress is a little "young" for me but it will make a great beach cover up. I want to make more from Tilly and the Buttons for sure!

Beautiful sundress

Skye is a quick and easy make that can be made in a variety of drapey fabrics. As always, the instructions are super clear!
