Customer Reviews

Fit was great on paper, but the ribbing at the hem rolled badly after first wash — ruined the clean silhouette I wanted. It *did* solve the sizing inconsistency issue ([painpoint3]), but the finishing let me down. Will try blocking next time.
Bet******ice
The neckline stays put (huge win!), the length is just right for her height, and it’s stretchy enough for climbing and dancing. Addressed my core concern: keeping clothes functional *and* pretty for an energetic 6-year-old ([painpoint1]). Only wish the PDF had print-at-home options.
Suz*******own
Short but sweet: This dress pattern fits like magic. No tugging, no sagging, no ‘I hate this dress’ meltdowns. Solved [painpoint1] — the constant readjusting — completely. Knit it twice already. So worth it.
Mar*******hns
Nice drape and soft finish, but ran slightly large in the chest for my 4-year-old. Still comfortable though! It did solve my need for a breathable, all-season knit dress ([painpoint2]) — she wore it from spring through early fall.
Ms. M**********er MD
Perfect fit, zero adjustments needed. As a dad knitting for my toddler, I needed clarity + reliability — this delivered. No more guessing at ease or seam allowances. Fixed my biggest headache: inconsistent sizing across kids’ patterns ([painpoint3]). Highly recommend.
Ani******er
Lovely pattern — fits true to size and knits up quickly. My only note: the sleeve cap took two tries to get right. But overall, it solved my need for a machine-washable, non-itchy dress for preschool ([painpoint2]). Very wearable.
Geor********els
Finally — a dress pattern that fits my daughter’s frame *and* her energy level! The shaping around the waist and hips keeps it secure during playground runs ([painpoint1]). Comfortable stretch, easy to customize with cotton blends. Five stars for solving the 'slip-off-shoulders' struggle.
Has*******er I
This Foxglove Dress pattern was a dream to knit for my 5-year-old! The fit is spot-on — no awkward bunching or tight sleeves. Solved my biggest pain point: finding a kid's knit dress pattern that actually accommodates active play without riding up. Soft yarn + clear instructions = zero frustration.
