2This month I made the Penelope Peplum dress.  I’m so proud of the finished result! I’ve never made a dress before.  Sleeves have always intimidated me, but this pattern and instructions made them so easy to sew.  I was also really nervous about finishing the neckline, but that was surprisingly easy too! If you’re like me and afraid to sew a dress, or a top with real sleeves, this is a great one to start with.

I love the fit and feel of this dress.  The knit I used is nice and thick, and so soft! I know I’ll be wearing this a ton when the weather warms up this spring.  The fit of this dress is super flattering and it’s really comfortable.

Have you made a Penelope Peplum yet?!

    Hi Kate

    I Love this dress! It is feminine, fun, and modest! Would there happen to be a way for me to purchase this dress already completed?

    Hi Vivian. I love the dress! I actually have a question about the fabric. Coincidentally I happened to order a swatch of this same fabric from Girl Charlee. I was concerned that it might snag or even pill. Have you noticed that at all with this fabric? Thanks!
