Clementine Knit Dress a dream to sew

A review of Forget-me-not Patterns Clementine Dress & Top

Reviewed by @supalunasews on 18th January, 2020

I highly recommend the Clementine knit dress pattern by Forget-me-not patterns.  This was the first knit item that I have ever sewn and I consider the thing a small miracle given knit items usually make me feel frumpy rather than fabulous.

 

What I loved about the pattern:

  • Thorough clear instructions – both words and pictures.  Informative but not condescending
  • True sizing and assistance selecting the sizing for those of us that aren’t straight up & down
  • No grading gremlins emerged.  Rock solid pattern.
  • Tips and tricks – this designer is generous sharing their knowledge to help you improve your skills
  • It looks awesome on! – I get a compliment or 3 every time I wear this dress.

 

Anything I didn’t like?

  • The rayon knit I selected was blimmem slippery but can’t blame the pattern for that.  Needed a few wines to calm my nerves after cutting it out.

 

I think you can buy this pattern with confidence.  I’ve seen it made up now as the top (both scoop and high cowl version) and dress in a variety of knits across a wide range of body shapes and sizes.  It always looks flattering on.     Just buy it!!   A+++
