                  Great dress. Wonderful directions!

                  This is a great dress. I made it in a midi length for my daughter in a size 2 - perfect except for the sleeves, which needed to be enlarged. I also made them short and added a hem facing and vent

                  Love my Lyra

                  Took my time to make the collar as this was a first for me but followed the instructions and it came out great. I didn’t make the skirt as full as this was more flattering for my shape. I am really pleased with my Lyra and have plans to make another one. It is lovely to wear and I received some lovely compliments about it

                  Brilliant pattern with straight forward and easy to follow instructions

                  Whoop!

                  I was scared of collars and shirt fronts, no longer thanks to Lyra

                  This patterns step by step instructions and pictures aided me to successfully make the shirt type top of the dress. The skirt instructions are a dream to follow. So far I have made the dress twice, mixing fabric for the sections.

                  So pleased you've enjoyed making our Lyra dress patterns, so much so you made twice, yay! Team Buttons x

                  Fine dress but no layers

                  The dress is a relatively easy to make and came out fine. But what I did not like at all were that the pattern does not have layers and no warning that there are no layers. I also have other patterns by this company that do not have layers. I use a projector for my patterns and not having layers makes it so much harder to see the right lines where they are close like in the neck or on the collar..

                  Hi Thorunn thanks so much for leaving your feedback. Our PDF patterns are not layered and although it is something that a couple of customers have asked for its not something we can factor in to our production process yet. We want to break down as many barriers to sewing as we can and adding layers is on the wish list. Kate x
