I made this dress without any modifications and the fit was awesome. I got a little stuck with the waist pleats and asked for help. My plea was quickly answered and most helpful. The pattern design is very feminine and elegant and i feel its very important to use the correct fabric to get a nice drape. I love the sleeves. The instruction were clear and easy to follow. Will definitely make more of these Valentina’s for my wardrobe!
