Embroidered Chambray Alice Dree

A review of Tessuti Fabrics Alice Dress and Top

Reviewed by HMSews on 9th August, 2020

I love this dress. I made up @tessutifabrics #tessutialicedress from some beautiful embroidered light denim or chambray (not sure which it is). This dress is perfect for the hot humid St. Louis summer weather. I made a size L with no adjustments (B41W35H42).

The instructions were clear and easy to follow.  If you want the sleeve caps to drape, I would recommend not using the optional interfacing.  I did use is and the sleeve caps are pretty stiff, which I like in my dress.  The sleeve caps are just a bit fussy, but not difficult if you take it slow.  The other slightly tricky part for me is the gathers, I just struggle with them.  But using 3 rows of stitching and a contrasting bobbin thread made it much easier.  I am sure I will make this pattern again, either as a dress or top, or both!!
