3 reviews for Sense & Sensibility 1914 Afternoon Dress
Rated 5 out of 5
Celeste Kostyniuk –
This dress went together very nicely. It lends itself very well to any lace insertion or entredeux one might want to adorn it with. I liked how there were several options for sleeves. I made it with an embroidered underdress in batiste and the overdress in voile.

I adore this pattern. I made this dress in two afternoons (while supervising my son). I followed the instructions carefully. All the seams are French seams. I gave special attention to the neck. Even a beginner could make this dress.

The pattern is printed on nice heavy paper and comes with a big instruction booklet. This is such a beautiful dress design but, I had a terrible time with the pattern. I attempted the Nursing version. I thought the instructions ‘jumped around’ and were hard to follow. I was going to wear it without a corset so I cut one size larger. The waist was too tight and the shoulders are very broad. It’s quite Pidgeon-breasted so it may not be flattering to all figure types. Despite all the problems I am going to try it again.
