A review of Merchant & Mills Camber Set

The Camberset is a lovely simple well drafted pattern. The only fiddley bit is the sewing the back neckline/yolk, but tak your time, read the instructions properly and it’ll give a nice finish. This make is for a friend, I sewed her one of these about two years ago in an indigo blue linen, she has loved it and worn it every week all year round. She’s an art teacher and styles it up with boots and necklaces and wears a long sleeve T under in it winter, she even gets comments from the kids on it, but when one 6yo girl told her she wears that dress “everyday”, she thought she ought get a new one. This one’s in a bark cloth print, it’s perfect for her, funky and stylish. I sewed the size 18, and shortened by about 5 inches to show off her great legs. I’ve made this pattern a few times, it’s a very easy dress to wear, looks great with a long cardi and boots for winter too.
