Evie Dress by Izzy and Ivy
/Today we take a look at the Evie Dress by Izzy and Ivy. Take a deep breath.... and SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE. Ok, seriously prepare for cuteness overload - this thing is adorable. Crystal and Kara are sharing their versions of this adorable dress, I'm already eye balling my stash to see what versions I can sew up for baby girl for the summer.
--------------------------------------------
The Evie is a great summer dress. It has a knit bodice and a pieced skirt with a sash that ties in the front and a sweet little accent ruffle.
The pattern is for sizes 2-12. My daughter is mostly wearing size 18 months so I sewed up a 2 for her and she has a bit of room to grow in it.
The dress is a pretty quick sew, it took me longer to dig through my fabric scraps and decide on 5 coordinating fabrics for the skirt than it took to sew the dress! The pieced skirt design on this dress makes it a great pattern to use up some fabric scraps!
So let’s talk about all the awesome things this pattern offers!
- The pattern fits sizes 2-12
- There is a size chart with measurements to help you get a perfect fit.
- There is a chart for fabric requirements.
- Easy to follow instructions and clear pictures.
- Quick sew instructions with a summary of all steps on one page if you like having printed instructions.
- Only 6 pattern pages to print for the bodice and measurements for the skirt pieces given in a chart.
- Pattern is easy to assemble after printing.
- Great tips for working with knits.
- Quick sew with adorable results!
- Pattern prints in color. I like to print in grayscale and had no trouble cutting out my size 2, but I prefer patterns with dash patterns for sizes.
- The neck hole on my size 2 is a bit of a squeeze going over my 20 month old larger than average head, I am worried it may not fit over her head for too much longer.
Overall, I love this pattern, this is dress going to get lots of use this summer! I am glad I got the chance to check out Izzy and Ivy designs and I can't wait to sew up more of their adorable dresses!
