Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Change The Hook Size I Use?

It is always best to use the recommended hook size of the pattern you are following. If you do change the hook size the dress may not look the same and the gauge may be different.

Can I Sell The Dress I Make?

This is completely dependent on the seller you buy your pattern from. I would always check with the seller if you wish to sell the dress you’ve made using their pattern. Some sellers are happy for you to sell the items you make but double check! 

How Do I Make The Dress Fit Me?

Always follow the instructions when it comes to making the dress the correct size you need. Some tips would be to measure the areas that will impact whether the dress fits. Keep the measurements of your waist, hips, and bust with you.
