Can I just say, how easy this was, especially for my first time sewing a dress! My sister needed a ‘ Taylor Swift Eras Tour’ inspired dress at the last minute, and I was insisting that I could create it for her in such little time. I came across this pattern, shortened the length to above knee, and extended the sleeves, and voila! A sequence dress to make her the Swiftiest of them all! I’d love to post a picture!
I’m very excited to try this pattern but I can’t seem to print it properly on US Letter size. Is there an additional step to print on US Letter size paper? Thanks!

Hello!
how do I alter it to fit as a maternity dress?
Thanks a lot.
I made this in a terry knit and it worked out really well! The only thing I would change would be to make the neck opening and neckband a bit bigger- this pattern has a fairly small crew neck. Otherwise the fit is great and the final dress is great for throwing on to run errands or I could dress it up too.
Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad you like your new dress
