That does look pretty good for a freebie...

I hadn't heard of So! Patterns before. Looks to be a German brand. There are some cute things on their site and they go up to a 4XL in some... https://www.so-pattern.com/ Mainly bags and things though.

I quite like this shirt dress, totally loose fitting and would probably make a really good comfortable nightie actually!

Just downloaded now, and it looks a really nice pattern. I don't wear dresses very often, but it's always useful to have one in the wardrobe.

Good size range, just got to figure out how the sizes work out.

Thanks Jane!

Interested to see how it sizes up. Lots of princess seams makes for good fitting!

I have quite a lot of fabrics that would work for it (light, but crispy cottons. Poplins basically) and haven't yet found a pattern for them.

I think the pictures are pretty terrible, it needs an iron!

I quite agree Fran, I can't see how a dress can photograph at it's best, without being ironed!  The technical pictures show a nice shape though.  Definitely worth dipping into the stash for:)

Just downloaded yet another free pattern from this website.  It's the Valerie Top, T Shirt, dress, and tank top, sizes XS to 4X.

A bit low at the front, but that can be altered.

The Tropfchen dress is yet another freebie on this site.  6months to 12 years, great one to keep for a quick make.

Marina Brumpton sells her patterns on Makerist, it may be one of hers.  If so, it's well worth downloading, her patterns are very good.

It's says €7 on there now !
The photo isn't very flattering, looks like it doesn't fit properly.
