18. Ladder Stripes. Ottobre Design Autumn/Winter 5/2017

I guess I can't help myself, it's Summer over here and I have wanted to make this pattern for a while.  Finally the urge became so strong that I just had to make it.

I've never hidden the fact of how much I love Ottobre Design Patterns.  Their patterns are available via subscription, or, you can choose to purchase individual issues.  It actually works out cheaper to purchase them via subscription and do come in English.

Just like Burda or Patrones, you will need to trace off the pattern pieces from a master sheet.  The pattern pieces are easy to identify on the master sheet. Just add a 1 cm seam allowance.

I had already traced off the pattern and in my stash found a fabric that I could use for this dress.

Pattern Description

This is a figure hugging dress with a flared hemline made in a stretch fabric.


Pattern sizing

Pattern sizing for Ottobre patterns start at 34 Eu to 52 EU.  I made this pattern in a size 52 EU.


Did it look like the photo on the pattern envelop once you were done sewing with it?

I think the dress did look like the photo and the drawing in the magazine once finished.


Were the instructions easy to follow?

The instructions for the dress were very easy to follow and had soe nifty tips for sewing up the dress to reduce stretch around the neckline.


What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

What I particularly liked about the pattern is it's ease of construction and the fact that it is simple to complete within a few hours.


Would you sew it again?  Would you recommend it to others?

I would recommend this pattern to others to sew.  If I do sew it again I might try and make it in a heaviee weight fabric and I may even make it in a size smaller than the one I chose.


This is a quick and easy dress to make.  Give it a try.
