New Look 6352 Size A Misses' Dresses Sewing Pattern, Multi-Colour

I bought this pattern for my friend who had just retired and wanted to try sewing. He wanted to make his wife a dress. He managed beautifully. Only problem is, he made the size 16. His wife is a size 10. It drowned her, but it was beautifully made and he had no problems understanding the pattern I instructions. He has since made a dress in the right size and his wife is speaking to him again. Lol. Definitely would recommend for novices.

Easy? Yes. One hour? No way! Even if you cut corners this dress will probably take most people an afternoon to make, by the time you've sorted out the pattern and cut it out. The instructions are to slip-stitch the hem - that alone would take (me) best part of an hour, but I machine-hemmed mine. I found the facings quite time consuming too. Easy because, apart from the facings, there are only four seams (two shoulders, two sides), no darts, no zips and no buttons. The instructions are well-written, clear and easy to follow. I made version D in a lightweight cotton lawn to wear as a beach dress/cover-up and am very pleased with it. It is quite loose fitting but if you use the appropriate body measurements on the pattern rather than use the dress size you normally buy it should turn out okay. I only gave it four stars because I think the '1 hour' label is misleading. I gave value for money three stars because patterns are, in my opinion, ridiculously expensive. I accept they can be re-used but even so the cost of the pattern adds quite a bit to the cost of the dress.

Used it 3 times. I am a ‘returner’ to sewing and this is a nice, easy pattern to make. Sizing is good. Will use it again.

I haven’t used a pattern for years however this is a classic that will suit everyone and keep you cool in the summer. I’ve purchased the materials and can’t wait to get started on the dress. I’m not sure how much patterns cost these days but I’m sure it’s a good price

This was an ideal pattern for my first attempt at making a dress. Easy to follow, no zips required - perfect

A very easy pattern to use even for a novice

I jusr started sewing lessons and this is my first project. It's not finished yet but it's going well, so far!

The instructions may as well be written in Chinese as it’s very difficult to follow. Poor quality paper

Es un buen producto para principiantes de la costura, los patrones son fáciles de seguir, y aunque las instrucciones vienen en Inglés no es muy difícil entenderlas. Entre cortar los patrones, acomodarlos en la tela, cortar la tela, coser las piezas es más de una hora lo que hay que invertir para la realización del proyecto. También hay que tener en cuenta que las medidas son para gente alta, el vestido arriba de la rodilla quedaría a media espinilla si se mide menos de 1.60

Patron très simple, le modèle de robe est facile à utiliser

Very easy to make and can be made in many different types of fabric. I’ve made it in an everyday dress and I’ve also extended the pattern and made it full length sequin!!! 5 star pattern

The envelope was neatly packed which is a plus point for me for paper products. Definitely good practice on seller's part. Definitely will purchase when more needed

I loved this pattern. So simple to do, which was important as I haven't made a dress in years! Lovely simple dress and easy to modify length too.
