I made this as a gift. This was my first attempt at making this pattern and my first Papercut Pattern outfit. It turned out well! I would consider myself an advanced beginner. The directions included were relatively easy to follow.

The only thing I changed is adding an additional 7 cm in length and about 3 cm in width to the skirt ruffle. When I first sewed the ruffle on with the original pattern, it didn’t have enough ruffles for my taste.

It was a great challenge for someone at my skill level. I felt I really leveled up with this pattern. I would definitely make this again!

Ok that is absolutely beautiful, I’m in total love with the colour! Just looked up the pattern and all its variations and…yup…consider me enabled lol.

As a fellow “advanced beginner” my next goal is to learn more about fabrics and what’s suitable for what, so if you wouldn’t mind could you tell me what kind of fabric you used for this?

I’m not exactly sure since the fabric was gifted to me. I believe it’s a linen blend of sorts.

No worries, thank you! I wanted to say it looked a bit linen-ey but am still way too lacking in confidence to make that kind of statement and get it wrong in public 😅
