Fleetwood Dress

A review of French Navy Fleetwood Dress

Reviewed by PatsyPoo on 8th November, 2020

This is a really great dress. The fit is great, the instructions are clear and I love the shape of it. I made a size B, version A but I ended up having to remove the sleeves because I chose not to listen to my gut, which told me I should’ve done a full bicep adjustment. I still think it’s a lovely pattern and I will have a go at it again in the future.

Where it loses one star for me though is that there were a few small errors I came across while making it. Nothing major, just a notch in the wrong place, incorrect seam allowance for stay stitching, etc. Small details that should’ve been picked up by pattern testers.

Other than that it’s a great, comfortable dress that leaves plenty of room for lockdown snacks while still looking really cute.
