The Assembly Line V Neck Dress

Posted by Rosey Charles on 13th Jul 2020

Being a beginner to sewing I saw a lot of comments regarding The Assembly Line patterns so thought to give it a try. What a joy of a pattern to work with. Clear instructions and good hints and pics about when to overlocker or recommendations on topstitching. My first dress was in light blue lightweight denim - I beamed in delight on how it turned out i've now made another two - one in hunter green cotton and the other dark red linen. Big fan of this pattern company.

Good pattern for beginners

This pattern is very well designed, the paper is of excellent quality and thick which I found makes it easier to trace the pattern for my chosen size. The instructions come in an A4 sized book with lots of detailed drawings explaining different steps. There are lots of examples of stitches, seams etc which are useful for beginners. What I did miss was an indication on the pattern of where to shorten/lengthen. And following the instructions I found that it would have been better to overlock all the edges first to get neater finish around the pockets- although since that's on the inside, you don't see it but still, it would look nicer. Sizing is pretty big and as I'm only 1,58m I had to shorten it quite a bit.
