I recently tested the Joy pattern by Made for Mermaids. It’s part of their Dreamy Collection (check it out – it’s truly dreamy!).
As with all her patterns, it is an easy sew and the directions are excellent!
The pleats are super easy to do and there’s a video to further explain how to put them together.
Side seam pockets are optional, but so easy!
There are three sleeve options – being in Florida I almost always go with short.
I made mine with an overlay by simply cutting the front and back bodice pieces from both the main material and the overlay material. I basted them together and then sewed it following the directions.
It comes with different skirt lengths too – maxi, dress, and peplum. You can also put a zipper up the back either for a design element or to make it easier to get on/off over fussy hair.
This pattern can be mashed with her other Dreamy Collection patterns. Pick the top and skirt you like and put them together to make your own look. I’m planning a Joy/Juliette mash for an Easter dress!
It’s on sale for $7 until tonight. Buy it here, then come back and tell me what you made.
