This is a fantastic pattern. This is the first PDF pattern I have tried and I was a bit sceptical, but I loved the pictures so thought I would give it a go. I am so pleased that I did as the finished dress is fantastic and fits perfectly. I am looking forward to making many more of these and I will definitely be trying more of Made for Mermaids patterns. Thanks for creating such a great pattern (and for larger ladies too)

I just finished making the long sleeve, full maxi version of this dress and it was my first time sewing with knit fabric. The dress turned out beautiful and the directions were easy for me to understand. I am fairly new to sewing overall so it took me several tries on some parts to get it right but I did it and it was worth it in the end. I really love this pattern and will for sure be making more of these lovely dresses!

This is an amazing pattern! It was the first I ever followed and the instructions were flawless. The video instructions for the pleats were perfect! I made my daughters and I matching Easter joy dresses as a total beginner and they were great. Definitely love all made for mermaids patterns I’ve tried.

My favorite dress pattern, I keep coming back to. It’s so flattering and easy to get a custom fit. The directions are simple to follow and I love the extra effort m4m has gone to make the pleats as simple as possible.

I fell in love with this pattern immediately, bought it and got intimidated by the pleats. I finally delved in and don’t know why I waited so long! The instructions were clear and easy to follow and now I’m a pleat master! Great to make casual or final wear, a definite for the collection.
