I recently had the pleasure of pattern testing for Popolok Designs! Last time I tested for her, it was the lovely
Nova Top and Cece Top. Beautiful, classic patterns.
The Nelia Dress is no exception.
The Nelia Dress has SO many options:
collar, no collar, long sleeves, short sleeves, no sleeves, shirt, dress, maxi dress, tie collar….. seriously, endless amounts of options. I love that you get so many different patterns for the price of one!
I chose to do sleeveless, dress length, and peter pan collar
I did modify my dress a bit. (not that there was ANYTHING wrong with her pattern, trust me!!!)
I added piping to the peter pan collar, I made the skirt a full skirt without buttons, and I did a wide band at the bottom instead of the ruffle. I also made the bodice fully lined.
The pattern is so professionally written!
I definitely plan to make more and I can’t wait to do it in the other variations. My next dress will be nautical themed!
I took Ainsley outside to get pictures and she couldn’t wait to run around and play
And just some cute indoor photos of my sweetie pie:)
