A review of Atelier Scämmit Be Pretty Blouse and Dress

Made this a while back- I really like the Atelier Scammit patterns, the finishings and techniques are really good. I like the fact that none of the stiches are noticeable except for the hems. I’ve made this particular top twice. First in a size 42 using a cotton fabric, the result (photo) was a bit tight around the back. The second one I made was in a bamboo fabric and I did size 44 and lowered the bust dart. Fits much better. In hindsight a more drapey fabric is better.

The pattern is very good quality, the instructions are good but I found it helpful to view the online tutorial on You Tube. Unfortunately I don’t think these are available in English. The instruction booklet has an English translation, although I’ve found at times it wasn’t very well translated so I went back & forth between the French & the English version.
