   sophie - “place on fold” is really common with clothes that are symmetrical - it saves space on the pattern piece. basically it means that your finished cut piece will be mirrored at that line.

   Here’s a similar dress shape except yours will be made of 1 type of fabric, not two.

   fold your fabric, lay the pattern piece’s dotted line right on the fold on it, cut it out (do not cut the fold!), and you will be left with ONE piece that looks like the letter Y. when finished, the fold like will be running right down your blythe’s torso, the skinny parts of the pattern are the shoulder straps.

   and I really recommend lining it, it’s much harder to hem the sleeves and neck without a lining.

   good luck sophie.

   This pattern is actually one I found quite easy. It took me a while to figure out the folding of the other side, but it really makes sense after it all. I’m going to make another now!

   I can not for the life of me get the dress truned right side out once I’ve sewn the two pieces together. I feel like there’s not enough room in the shoulders. Any advice?

   lindsay - yeah, if the shoulders are sewn too narrow, turning can be difficult. it helps a lot to trim the seam allowance in the arm and neck holes down to 3/16″. What kind of fabric are you using?

   Hi Melissa, thank’s so much for sharing these patterns! I was wondering if it would be ok to sell dresses made from this pattern like it is with the “all spruced up” pattern.
