A romantic beauty, Rosaline is delightfully feminine! Just enough detail in the sleeves and a creative hemline. Fun and easy to make. Gorgeous in soft pastels but striking in darker tones. Make this one in light weight linen!

Rosaline puff dress
This was my first TG pattern. Also since I became a more substantial woman. I decided to make this in a soft, velvety fabric, which worked quite well. I had to lengthen the top so that it would finish under the bustline, but that was simple. I didn't feel there was enough pattern for the pleating on the sleeve so I doubled it and then some, but that depends on how deep, or how many, pleats you want. I didn't quite understand the extra bit at the waistline and how that worked with the sleeve so next time I will 'set in' the sleeve. I think next time I might stitch in the front and back pleats for about 5cm to reinforce the shape and direction. I will definitely make this again, but in a slightly stiffer fabric. Very happy overall.

Rosaline Puff
I love this pattern. It is very simple, but just gorgeous. I ended up making it more fitted on top, and it is super flattering.

Love the drape of this dress pattern
I’ve completed 90 percent of my Rosaline muslin (a mockup to check drape and fit), all hand-stitched. I did a LOT of measuring and remeasuring. Although my size falls between Large and XL, I went with Medium, as the actual width measurements of the cut pattern is quite generous. In using this pattern, you won’t get a sense of drape and fit without seeing and feeling how your fabric behaves as you sew. Stitching the Rosaline by hand (using button-weight thread) has given me an appreciation for this pattern as I take my time and enjoy the creative process. I used 100 percent medium-lightweight unbleached cotton muslin. The drape from the shoulder of the bodice to the puff sleeves and the bell-shaped lines of the skirt falls nicely on the body. I’ll use a lightweight linen or cotton on my next project.
