The Ebony Tee and Dress review

Reviewed by nightingaleanddolittle on 6th December, 2018

The Ebony dress is quite a different style for me, but I had fabric that seemed like it would be perfect for this pattern so I decided to give it a try – and I’m glad that I did!
The pattern itself is great – simple and quick to sew, and the instructions are very thorough and detailed so you can’t really go wrong.
I made a size 12 based on my bust measurement, and that worked out nicely. You only really need to worry about the fit on the shoulders and arms for this pattern, and they both fit me nicely. I lengthened the dress by about 1.5 inches, which is fairly standard for me. If I make it again, I’d also lengthen the arms just a touch but they’re OK as they are for this version.
The dress is (unsurprisingly!) so comfy! I think it looks nice layered over a roll neck top, which makes it nice and cosy for winter. It’s not a conventionally “flattering” dress, but I feel good wearing it so that’s all that matters as far as I’m concerned!
