BHL Alix

A review of By Hand London Alix Dress

Reviewed by aitchey on 16th March, 2019

The only criticism I have of this pattern is that it has no pockets! And silly me, I forgot to add them in.

I like the simplicity of the Alix. The pleated back and waist tie and give it a flattering shape without any fit issues to consider beyond the bust. I did an FBA for this pattern, basically elongating the front yoke and centre of the cups by an inch and a half.

The elasticated cuffs meant I didn’t have to worry about closures, but next time I will probably add some button cuffs instead.
