Great pattern...easy to make and to follow the instructions.
Made some for summer and some long sleeves ones for winter
I'm a beginner sewer and this was the third thing I ever made. Wore it so much this summer. I have to go back and repair the seams now but that was down to a rookie error. I love this pattern and so easy to follow.
I used this pattern for my first me-made dress and loved it! I've made different variations with length, sleeves and pockets, mainly in viscose and each one has turned out great. It's also my go-to pattern to buy for friends getting into sewing!
Love this pattern! Easy to sew and instructions excellent as I find all of Tilly's patterns. Made about 4 of these and will probably make more in the future. Nothing complicated!
I have a few Tilly patterns and I love them. I have only cut out this one to size and I like that I can adjust it to fit, size 5. I am 4"10 and 75 yrs old and have a full bust. This pattern will be easy to wear and forgiving! I haven't cut out the fabric yet but I intend using a colourful patterned heavy viscose from Pound Fabrics. I think I could lengthen the bodice to make a simple top too.
I have lost count of how many times I have made the Orla top, sometimes lengthening it to a tunic or dress. It's getting dogeared now!
Incidentally I have been sewing since a small child and I would rate Tilly patterns the best ever. Thank you Tilly.
