What is the waist height on the comillas dress please? I can’t seem to find this information, I’m only petite to expecting to have to shorten the bodice.
The back lengths from neck to waist are different for different sizes. However, that information is included in the instructions. Just to give you an idea, I’m 5’4” and I usually shorten 3/4” above the waist.
I love this pattern. I bought this as soon as I saw it and made it the next day. I’m already thinking about a second. Thank you!
Wow the dress looks great on every body type!
How high up can the slit be sewn – all the way to the top? Is there elastic at the neckline that would allow for a smaller neck?
Oh my goodness! I love it. I have a polyester RTW dress that is similar but with a fuller skirt and puffed sleeves. I could definitely use this as-is and make versions with those variations. Then finally donate the synthetic dress that I rarely wear because I am a sweaty girl and it is agony. I need this! I appreciate the full bust options, as always.
Hi Kennis, I love the new dress–I imagine everyone does. I am hesitating about purchasing because you specify that the pattern has narrow shoulders and I have very broad, swimmers shoulders and a smallish bust. How much narrower than standard are the shoulders? (My typical adjustment is about 5/8″…. would I now be adjusting for an inch or more on this narrow shouldered dress? How would you advise me doing that? ) I was considering the two hinge method that Karina Trinidad described in her Nov 2022 video, but not sure that I can adjust that much? Thanks for any advice!

Hi Monica, I said it has narrow shoulders not meaning that it only fits people with narrow shoulders. The gathers on the sleeve cap compensate for the narrow shoulders. This style is perfect for people with broad or narrow shoulder because for people with narrow shoulders, their shoulders appear to be broader; on the other hand, it looks great for people for broad shoulders because they appear to be narrower. I have broad shoulders myself and usually adjust for about 3/8″, but need no adjustment for the Comillas. The same design is used for the Seychelle Top (https://itch-to-stitch.com/product/seychelles-top-digital-sewing-pattern-pdf/). The shoulders sit inside the sleeve caps.
I love the pattern and purchased it right away. The women modeling their own dresses makes look lovely.
I do have one suggestion.
Several of the women have selected fabrics that hang in a more flattering way. Could each woman who posts their creation include the composition of their fabric? The information would be immensely helpful.
If you can tell me the specific one you are interested in, I can find out. Keep in mind that my testers are from different parts of the world so they buy fabric from different countries. Also, most fabrics are from their stash, sometimes for years, which means they are not available for purchase. They can only tell you the fabric content (viscose, linen, etc.), which doesn’t necessarily mean you will get the same look. For example, mine was a linen/cotton blend, but I can tell you that it’s actually quite a lot softer than other linen/cotton blend I’ve seen before.
Love these. Thank you for posting the testers’ photos, so we can see the dress in prints and solids, and also on different body sizes!
Your testers are amazing! Each dress looks terrific and I cannot imagine not trying this style. Due to your patternmaking abilites and their talents, this style is a win- win!!
So pretty, can’t wait to sew up a few
A near dupe of the A&F Somerset Dress. And not for $150+! Wonderful!
Oooh, so tempting! Prettiest dress pattern I have seen in a while.
Wow! This one is gorgeous!
