Matilda dress – Megan Nielsen

Such a pretty dress and a great pattern. Recently updated to include more than the original 5 or 6 sizes and it now has the option of sleeves as well. It has a utilitarian vibe to it, with pleated breast pockets with flaps, drop shoulders and sizeable slanted patch pockets on an A-line skirt. The princess seams give the bodice a nice shape, too. Mine was made in linen and that worked really well. It’s very comfy but looks great at the same time, so it seems like I’ve made an effort. Instructions are great and easy to follow and I am already planning one for cold weather soon.
