Gardenia Chemise Top and Dress

Easy to follow pattern. I’m a beginner sewist who loves to use patterns as a way to learn new skills, so this one was perfect to learn how to use bias tape for a neckline! Made in a medium weight linen and it looks so good!

Oh my gosh I've been looking for a gathered top with billowy sleeves to make the nightgown of my dreams and it's perfect. Great instructions!

I have made this pattern once and I know I'll be making it again as soon as my dryer is repaired enough to prep more fabric. I made the size 4/6 and I changed the sleeves to suit my limited fabric. The pattern was very forgiving of my modifications and the result is breezy and beautiful. I made no other changes but I could see so much potential for fun hacks and variations that would bring me back to this pattern again.

I love love love this dress. With a passion for pretty insides this pattern. It not only gives you an amazing well proportioned dress but it's beautiful inside too. Great instructions and love the condensed version for experienced sewers or when you are on your 5th dress which is entirely plausible!

I was so excited when I saw Caramiya working on this pattern and it did not disappoint. The instructions were clear detailed where they needed to be. I enjoyed the fact that simplified instructions were also provided for those experiences with sewing as well.
