The Wave top comes together easily. It’s very versatile and pairs so well with different types of clothing, whether it’s athletic or jeans. Also, color blocking makes it fun and interesting. I love this pattern , it’s a summer staple for sure!
I made the top version with short sleeves in the tall version and the largest bust out of a loose poplin (not as fine/stiff as usual) and I’m very happy with it. It’s loose and comfortable to wear in the hot weather. I followed the measurements and made two changes to lengthen the bodice by 1cm as I’m taller than 5ft9 and to move the bust darts 4cm down its fitted brilliantly. Both were easy fixes.
I made Ipanema with cotton crinkle gauze. It turned out very nice, but tends to pull from the base of the placket diagonally to the neckline. I may try to make a facing next time if I use gauze.
I love the style and comfort of this dress. I have made one and planning others. Instructions are clear in tutorial and love to use the tall file, which is perfect for me. I would recommend.
That dress 🤩!! I just love it. It is easy to sew and super trendy. The placket could be a challenge but is well explained. I'm wearing mine again and again this summer. Thank you for that great pattern!
I made one for a friend, size medium. It fit her perfectly without any adjustments. Love the v neck, stylish and high enough to have coverage. I made additional one size large; it is well sized and the instructions were clear to follow. Love the casual style wear.
I normally love Sinclair parmtterns, but I don't like for this one so much. I like the neckband finish and some of the issues could be due to the very stretchy viscose lycra I used. I had to make several adjustments to the pattern. The block used for this pattern seems to differ from my other patterns. I am.unlikely to make another Bondi. I am surprised, as I have read many glowing reviews
I loved that the pattern came with height files. It meant I had no adjustments. The fit was perfect and the dress came out so beautifully. The sleeves are so lovely too. I used a light cotton lawn fabric.
