I chose a flowery punta di roma for my View A (a-line skirt with pockets) version of the Charleston dress. It was a breeze to sew, not just because the fabric was very cooperative, but also because the instructions were great and detailed.
What I particularly liked about the .pdf about how it indicates which pages to print for the skirt and sleeve options of your liking. It wouldn’t have been the first time I would’ve printed lots of pages for the wrong view…
These are the things I adapted from the original pattern:
- As my punta di roma has enough stretch, I omitted the zipper. So I simply cut the back piece on the fold of the fabric.
- I didn’t add the neck band because I liked the neckline without it better. I simply used a strip of black stretchy viscose to bind it and then turned it under.
- First I went for the long sleeves (I get cold easily). That felt a bit too matronly for me with the flowery print, so I shortened them to elbow length.
I really love the outcome- the dress wears like pajamas but it’s classy enough for a fancy party! I’m already planning to make another one, this time a View B in a neoprene/scuba fabric.

EDIT: I've made my second Charleston dress now, it's a view B in a neoprene fabric! It seems I'm unable to add another review for the same dress, so you can find pics and info on my blog: https://www.karinkay.nl/little-black-dress-van-neopreen-met-zichtbare-rits/
