FABRIC
Please refer to the FABRIC REQUIREMENT CHART as one of the last images on this product listing. You can magnify this image by clicking on it if viewing on a mobile phone whilst in a fabric store.
The Flounce Tank & Shirt is designed for light-weight woven linen, cotton lawn, rayon or viscose.
The Flounce Dress works best is mid weight linen but equally can be sewn in a satin for evening or special occassion wear.
*Please also note that all (new) fabric should be pre-washed in case of shrinkage. 100% cotton & linen will shrink during the first wash. It doesn't hurt to be safe and remove any dodgy chemical build-up that may have occurred during printing anyway.

AustraliaFlounce dress
I made the dress and will size down for the next one. I used linen and have decided I’m not a linen girl! The dress went together well and the instructions were easy to follow and the make was straightforward. I then made the long sleeve shirt which was challenging because I used a very slippery rayon. I will post pics when I wear my new outfits.
AustraliaNice pattern and I learnt some new things too
Great instructions, great design too.

Hi Kate - thanks for taking the time to review and upload a photo. I love the fabric you have used - it looks like avery special top.
AustraliaLovely pattern

New ZealandFlounce Dress
I was a little concern about making this top as I had never done anything like this before, but I found it very clear in the instructions as to how to put it together and wow it came out great. I also found with having a larger bust it help with forming the pleat in the back that it made the fit of my top so much better as I have been court by this before in other dress patterns.
United KingdomSuper pattern!
From purchasing the pattern to finishing the garment the whole process was straightforward and ended with a lovely blouse! Immediately bought another pattern for pants on the strength of this experience ! Would positively recommend!
New ZealandFlounce Tank
Easy instructions to follow
United KingdomLove it but needed pattern alteration knowledge
The instructions are clear and very easy to follow. I loved how it turned out but was super glad I’d made a toile. The arm hole is very low in the sleeveless version and I ended up having to raise the armhole by 2 inches in order to hide my bra. It’s an easy adjustment, but not one I had expected to have to make. I will be making this again and recommend it to a friend who is a newish sewer and she loved the outcome too.
United KingdomDelighted!
I have so enjoyed making this Flounce Dress. I have a question regarding the Flounce. One side seems to be more “flouncy” than the other. I want to make another but want to perfect it. Advice please? Could it be the grain? Thank you
The Sewing Revival
Hi Diane, Thanks for taking the time to review the Flounce dress pattern. The picutre you uploaded is great! Re one side being more "flouncy" - may I suggest you check you have the top and bottom of the flounce correct (the pointiest end of the flounce is at the centre front). Refer back to the flounce pattern piece. Kind regards, Janine
AustraliaLove it - couldn't be happier
First time using Sewing Revival. It was a very pleasant experience. Good drafting & instructions. I used the back hack & 3/4 sleeves. I am so happy with the result that I made in navy linen, it will take me from casual to dressy. I have planned another blouse & a dress for this pattern.
United KingdomFlounce Dress
Such fun to make, with super clear instructions and learned a new technique. Bought the Fernbird straightaway for another new make to me.

CanadaFlounce dress and top pattern
Love the style…have not made it yet. Hope to make top soon!
New ZealandFabulous Flounce
Have just finished the dress with short sleeves. The pattern is well designed it all went together perfectly I'm super happy with the result & I'm going to make the shirt next. I can see I'll use this pattern over & over. Well done once again Sewing Revival!
GermanyFlounce top sewn in linen
I used the pattern to make a sleeveless top in white linen. The fit is perfect, even the bust darts are placed perfectly for my body shape. Pattern instructions were clear, the process straightforward and enjoyable. I made another top (without flounce) because of the great fit, and consider making a dress as well. Highly recommended.
United StatesGreat pattern
This is an easy pattern to follow, and it made up beautifully. I’ve enjoyed wearing it. I think it runs a little large, but in this dress, that works fine.
AustraliaQuestion
I am wondering if anyone has made this without the frill? Thanks Glenda
NorwayGood pattern
This is a simple, easy and lovely dress pattern. The sizing is good and accurate and the instructions are easy to understand. I made the dress and will be making the shirt with the back pleat- hack soon.
CanadaFlounce dress
I’m a beginner’ish sewer, so I made the dress with the help of a very experienced seamstress. I think I would’ve had trouble doing the dress on my own. Thankfully, she has a surger, so she was able to do the edging of the flounce on the surger. I think it would not have looked great using the zigzag stitch on my sewing machine. I modified the dress to be long and I put a slit in the one side. Overall, it turned out nice, but the neck is not 100% due to the multiple layers of fabric and it was difficult to get a clean sharp edge. I might actually try this pattern again in a different colour just for practice.
United StatesVery nice dress
This is very simple to download, cut out & sew. For me - it’s the perfect summer dress.
United KingdomExcellent Pattern As Always
I an quite a new-ish sewer, but I know Janine's patterns will always work for me. I think this is my 6th pattern. I always feel confident because I now I know my size in these patterns I can go straight in and cut out my size without doing a toille. The instructions are always so brilliantly written and hold your hand all the way through. The thing I love is that there are so many options within the one pattern, which makes the cost of the pattern great value.
