Careful measurements needed I feel

A review of Hey June Handmade Linville Romper and Dress

Reviewed by Jan on 25th February, 2023

Not a pattern for beginners I feel.  There are no notches, waist or hip markers, and very small grain line markers.   The pattern layout  – even accounting for pattern matching and direction of fabric  – seems very wasteful.  The fabric estimate 0f 3 – 3.25 m was far more generous than needed.

Stating the finished leg length would have been helpful.  I had to add a good 6 inches to the long romper leg length for a very average sized, slim 12 yr old, who was 2 inches shorter than the pattern sizing.  (Yes, I did carefully cut out and use all the relevant pattern pieces)

Having said all this, the finished result was lovely, but beware the need to measure the child and be prepared to adjust the pattern carefully.
