GET INSPIRED #SewingNell
I really enjoyed making this dress. It has a lot of techniques so I would say it’s more suitable for an intermediate sewer than a beginner. However, I bought Tilly’s workshop to use alongside and it was great and really easy to follow. Very happy with the finished dress. I do d add a frill at the bottom as I wanted it longer.
Hi Julie, thanks so much for your review! I’m glad you enjoyed making the dress and found the workshop helpful! Adding a frill at the bottom sounds like a lovely touch, and I’m happy to hear you’re pleased with the final result. Happy sewing! Virginija x
I have made the straight blouse in cotton poplin and the dress in viscose and I love them both. it is an easy to pattern to follow and the finished garments are lovely, The dress is lovely and floaty and very cool I wore it for the first time on the hottest day of the year and stayed cool and comfortable.
Hi Alison, thank you so much for your 5-star review! We're so happy to hear you loved both the blouse and the dress. It’s great to know the pattern was easy to follow, and your finished pieces turned out beautifully. The dress sounds like a perfect choice for those hot days - light, floaty, and super comfortable. Enjoy wearing them, and happy sewing! Virginija x
Love the style but unfortunatley did my normal size and it was far too big. Need to cut down two sizes at least.
Hi Jean, thanks so much for your review! We purposely designed Nell to have extra room, but the beauty of making your own clothes is that you can adjust the pattern to suit your preferences. :) Happy stitching! Virginija x
I love tilly and the buttons, you have made it achievable even for me to dressmake. I made the Nell peplum version and it came out so lovely, now I can't stop sewing !!
Hi Angela, thank you so much for your review! We’re so happy to hear you love our patterns! It’s great that your Nell peplum turned out great. We’re so glad we could help make dressmaking fun and easy for you. Keep on sewing! Virginija x
This was the first Pdf pattern I have bought. Had a little trouble printing it off, but that was me, not the pattern. I made a size 8 but had to take it in, so next time, I will use size 7. I loved making it, and it turned out beautiful. I am going to make the top next. I don't know how to send a photo, or I would send you one.
Hi Gwen, thanks for your excellent review! It's wonderful to hear that you didn't hesitate and went ahead with printing your first ever PDF pattern - that takes some courage! We'd love to see your creation, so feel free to send a photo to hello@tillyandthebuttons.com. The dress is designed to have a loose fit, so if you prefer a more fitted look, you might need to adjust the size. Happy stitching! Virginija x
