Coco has been sitting in my pattern stash since I bought the sewing machine earlier in the year. Finally got around to making the top version in a green tweed effect lightweight ponte. I wasn't keen on the tunic with splits length, a bit neither here nor there on me at 5ft 2, so I shortened the top by 4 inches so it is just above the line where the markings are for the top of the split sides. Funnel neck was a lovely fit. Will wear for work with a pencil skirt.
Only thing I would change is to use a 3/8"/10mm seam allowance, as I have used with some other knit patterns, which will give me a little more ease at the top of the shoulder/armscye area.
I have a funky retro scuba in stash which I plan to make the dress version with presently.
Hi Sue, thanks so much for your review! I'm so glad to hear you’ve finally picked up the pattern and made a beautiful garment you’re proud to wear - yay! I’m looking forward to seeing your dress version soon! :) Happy stitching! Virginija x

I have made 5 versions of this dress now. It's incredibly easy and looks good with minimal fitting. Its easy to alter too, I've made it with a slightly scooped neckline, altered the length and the sleeve length, made a costume for a 70's party, a beach cover up, and a little black dress that was flat fabric at 4pm and a dress on my back in a restaurant at 7:30pm the same evening (I'd fit in shower, hair and make up in that time too!).

Another great pattern from TATB! This one I found a little harder to follow as the fabric used in the photos didn't have a clear right vs wrong side, but with a little re-reading, we got there! I've made this twice in ponte de roma and it looks great!

The pattern was lovely, but not for me, so I donated it to a Cancer Ctr where they collect and sell of patterns and other sewing products.

I gave it a 5 star but did not make it because the style for me was not right, so I donated it to a cancern fund center where they collect fabric and patterns. But thank you...It was lovely, but not for me.
