ACE PATTERN

A review of Wardrobe by Me Mirri Dress

Reviewed by Whey Aye Sew on 17th February, 2024

This is my second Mirri dress. It’s the easiest dress pattern I’ve ever used and the quickest to sew. In ten easy steps you have a body-hugging faux wrap dress and there’s a YouTube tutorial if you feel the need. The most difficult part is cutting the points in the bodice which later become the pleats.

The pattern offers 4 length versions (this is the middi) and suggests lightweight jersey, NOT ponte or cotton lycra. It features a high neckline and sleeves built into the body which are finished with a sleeve band. I added 2 inches to the length but raised the waistline by about 1/2 an inch.

It’s a great pattern, well thought out, stylish, suitable for beginners. Once I’ve found the right fabric, I’ll be making a third one for summer.
