Love it - so adaptable

Made one of these for last Christmas in a cotton sateen for evening wear. The photo with the large print skirt sold me on buying this as I knew I had fabric which needed space to shine. I chose to make the V-necked front and back, flutter sleeves, and the pleated maxi skirt with waistband. Pockets in ANY dress are always a plus to me. Will definitely be making more, the hardest bit is choosing which combination to make!

Upton

I think this pattern is amazing! It’s so versatile with so many different options. There are 384 possible variations! You could make hundreds of outfits without the need to buy another pattern. And it’s multi sized, so you can grade to make it fit beautifully

My Favorite Dress

I fantasized about having a pattern like the Upton and now I have several dresses that look amazing on me and *even fit my bust.* I have to practice saying "no, I will not make this dress for you" because everyone wants me to. My dreams of looking like a full-figured Mrs. Maisel have been realized!

Cashmerette Upton dress

Sizing was spot on. Pattern instructions are terrific

Upton Dress

I absolutely love this pattern. I made a quick sample of it to start and its now one of my favorite dresses, have also used it to make 3 other skirts and one more dress. Love how simple yet flattering the style is!

Upton dress and expansion pack

The instruction were easy to follow, and the dress turned out great!
