Customer Reviews
I absolutely adored this pattern. Bella always makes extremely well thought out beautifully shaped garments. The shaping on the collar is really elegant and the little details of the double pleat on the back shoulders is very satisfying. There are french seams within keeping things neat and tidy on the inside. The collar was definitely tricky to sew (the photos are not super clear) but if you go slow and make sure you have sufficient interfacing (both sides of the collar; not just one side like I opted to do!) it's 100% do-able! I sewed this in a M&M's Hemp Cotton which made it much stiffer and more casual. I'm planning a second in a drapey fabric as per recommendations. Oh and as a person of short stature I hugely appreciate the height bandings :)
One of my big aims was to go searching for patterns that would really teach me some great techniques and Bella delivers! I must say I’m not sure what was wrong for the person who gave this 3 stars as it is really a very good pattern and detailed instructions. The sew along is great and really helped with the collar which was the most complicated bit.
Did I make mistakes? Yes. Did I regret using silk twill? Absolutely. But I still love my shirt and can’t wait to make another one. I have been searching for patterns that have detailed and interesting techniques to use and as my second make from BLP I have not been disappointed.
I do agree having greater contrast in the photos would help but the sew along cleared that up.
The collar is confusing and mine is definitely not as beautiful as the sample but I’m still so happy with the result. I can’t wait to purchase another pattern and I can’t wait to make another Rosie top.
One perfect shirt, on attempt number 1! Used the size range for a petite person, also watched the sew-along video which is really useful. Lots of tailoring tips in the video and instructions. So pleased with the outcome I am about to start Rosie number 2! It's not a straightforward sew, and certainly worth the effort; collar lies flat and the sewing technique works. I will definitely try more patterns by Bella!
The instructions were poor and unintuitive. I watched the sew-along video and it did not clear things up. Photographs were used in the instructions instead of diagrams, and the sample garment in the photographs was a very similar colour to the background, making it difficult to decipher. This pattern is on the pricier side and I do not think it is worth it’s value.
I was looking for a pattern exactjy like this and prefer to buy from an independent business person . This pattern was beautifully made , everything matches .. the tutorial is more than helpful , and I learnt a few things . I would buy another pattern in a heart beat !
