I made this pattern for my daughter in a mid weight crepe and we are both very happy with it. The cup sizes made fitting easy, there is no gaping in the front and the skirt looks like a wrap but without the wardrobe malfunctions. Added 10cm to the length, lined the skirt and removed 4 cm from CB bodice length. Just about the make one for myself. Great pattern.

I’ve spent hours trying to make this dress fit. I’ve cut a size 12 C, according to my measurements and the listed measurements, but I’ve had to take in the bodice side seams a lot and raise the bust darts. I have compared the front bodice pieces to a Vogue pattern and the Petaluma is a lot bigger! The waist line of the skirt is way too big, I can’t get it to fit properly, it has probably stretched with all the messing around I’ve had to do. I’ve not prepared to spend any more time on the fit, I may make it into a skirt, but I’m done! From my experience a wrap dress is best made from a knit. I love the look of the dress, so I’m disappointed.

I am sorry to hear that the dress didn’t fit you. The pattern was drafted for woven fabric so it’s not appropriate for knit fabric. You would be happier if you find a wrap dress pattern specifically designed for knit fabric.

Very well written and looks great on

I don’t know why the pattern is written unlined, as most wovens with that level of drape are going to need a layer underneath. Regardless, I made this with a 4″ longer skirt than the pattern and lined and it turned out to be a pretty accurate fit, as well as being easy to put together. My biggest trouble was finding a long enough zipper locally. I like it! And it has pockets. I will be making one for my much bustier MIL next.
