A review of Bettine - Tilly and the Buttons

love this pattern; I made it from a extremely drapey rayon – I deliberately picked a simple pattern to tackle this fabric with and I made the plain version without any pockets or tabs. i cut the smallest size and shortened the bodice by 3cm – my back waist length is only 13.5 inches so i always shorten the bodice unless its empire waist. I am only 155cm tall and made no further length adjustments and it’s still above the knee for me so taller ladies beware! id say this is is a short dress, very beautiful in rayon. I’m going to the do version with pockets and tabs in a chambray next, I felt the rayon wouldn’t go the pockets well. easy to follow instructions, highly recommend!
