Very easy to make and the instructions are clear with various options/methods for some sections of sewing/techniques.
I read the instruction carefully for the insertion of the placket (to the notch) but then relied heavily on the illustration which showed a stitching line to the end (for me). When I got to the 'sew up the back seams' stage, I did that carefully and then discovered my placket error: fortunately, I was able to salvage the 'mistake' without having to disturb the necessary stitching for the garment. Phew!
It was a delightful project to finally complete (having cut it out in the first lockdown, I rediscovered it last week and my daughter encouraged me to sew it for her Christmas Jumper Day and Dinner yesterday.) She wore it well.
Previously I had sewn her the younger girl's skirt kit, as well as the hat and purse kit.
The buttons I used on the dress were chosen as a result of the one I used on the purse. And although I had purchased the Liberty print lining for the dress, I chose to use one from my lining stash which was similar to the lining I used for the skirt, hat and purse (but in contrasting/opposite colour scheme) if you can see in the photos.
