I'm a cashmerette size 20- 22 but I'm a true pear shape with a small bust, and high waist.
Overall this is a good pattern;the instructions are clear and the method of construction is great. The bias neck finishing into the ties is such a time saver and gives a neat finish. However I find it much easier to fit commercial patterns from the Big 4 than Cashmerette patterns on my body.
I also didn't like the closures on this dress; I lengthened the outside tie so it would wrap all the way around and cinch in my waist. With the original ties it just looked very frumpy around my waist.

Lovely dress
I made a few tweaks to this pattern but overall I love it. The sewalong on the website really helped, the instructions are easy to follow and the dress construction is uncomplicated. I will keep buying patterns from Cashmerette and I am considering joining “the club”!

RoseClair for Helena
Hi,
It's been my first Cashmerette pattern (and my first sewing pattern in english). I sewn this dress for my girl who was attending a wedding. She's a F cup and the Roseclair is her best fitting dress ever. Highly recommend. I will sew her another one for the winter.

Cute summer dress
Pattern instructions were clear and easy to follow. With only 7 pattern pieces it was a quick sew. I made a straight size 24 with a C/D cup but that turned out to be too big for me, so alterations were needed to get the fit right. I will make it again but will choose size 22 for the bodice then grade out to 24 for my hips.

Perfect fit but side closure issues
Hi! I absolutely love this dress. It is the first dress I make that fits my shoulders and bust without any adjustments. The only issue I have with it is the inner side tie closure. It bulges and spoils the look. Next time I make it I will need to find a solution, a snap perhaps…

Love this dress, it is such a great fit on me. I made a size 18 G cup view A. I used 7 print fabrics and 2 solids in georgette fabric for my dress. I created patchwork fabric for the 3 skirt tiers and picked out the prints I loved for the bodice and sleeves. I backed my fabrics where necessary with white georgette. It went together easily with good instructions and I fortunate fit wise to only have to add some width to the centre back to accomodate a broad back.
