Easy to make, with no fiddly bits, Lotta is a perfect dressmaking project for beginners, or a satisfyingly speedy sew for more experienced stitchers. It has a blousy bodice and flared skirt, cinched in with a narrow elasticated waistline.

Choose between knee-length or midi-length skirt, with grown-on short sleeves or bracelet-length drop shoulder sleeves, with optional deep patch pockets. To make it even more versatile, you can make this dress in either woven fabric or stretchy jersey.

Love love love!

This has been my first Tilly pattern I've bought and made. I made the dress once..... Then I made it over and over again! Now I have 5 different lotta dresses in different lengths prints and materials! I'm just getting myself geared up to make the Agnes top next! Thank you Tilly for your amazing Patterns and easy to follow instructions :)

Yaaas Emma and all the Lotta dresses. Thank you so much for your lovely comments. Team Buttons x

Love it!

Ordered the paper version and I love the package design. As a beginner I had no trouble following the instructions.

Music to our eats. Thank you so much for sharing. Team Buttons x

Lotta pattern

My first adult pdf pattern. I chose this pattern as the reviews were good and it looked a fairly simple and quick make. The pattern was perfect for me easy to follow abd great results I have made 2 dresses in the past week. Highly recommended.

Thank you Alison SEW much for writing this review. Lotta truly is a quick and easy make and you making 2 in a week is proof of it. Have lots of fun swishing around in your Lotta dresses. Team Buttons x

Perfect!

I bought this pattern because I have a similar dress that was giving to me and I like the fit. I am inexperienced and it seemed easy enough. I am now in love. The first dress I made was the short sleeve version with no pockets. I printed the pattern, assembled it, cut the fabric and had the dress ready to hem in 4 hours. And I even had to watch the tutorial for the understiching technique! And with kids in the house! It was so easy! Meanwhile, I already made a long sleeve top using the top of the dress and I have a second dress in my work table. For this dress I am also using the free inseam pocket pattern and tutorial from the blog. I definitely will be making the long sleeve version and my mom already asked me for a short sleeve top too. I will definitly be using this pattern a lot.

Micaela this is so wonderful to read. Lotta is a firm Team Buttons fave so it's lovely to hear from customers who are making not just a wardrobe of Lotta's for themselves but also for family and friends. Yay to lots of Lotta love. Team Buttons x
