    I love this pattern ,I already had it in the 14 inch and it was so much fun that I wanted it in the 18 inch size.The pattern has so many options to make it your own and of course I loved it that I got the free Shrug pattern with the purchase but I haven’t made it yet.

    I was pleasantly surprised at how easy this was to make! I changed the pattern a little to give it my own personal touch, I’m thrilled with the results. It is a pattern I will use more than once as it has so many possibilities just by changing fabric or changing how you assemble the pattern.

    What a sweet soft feminine dress. This goes together easily and all the layers flow from one to the next. An unfinished underskirt is the perfect touch!

    I love this pattern SO much! It’s definitely Mori, but it also feels bohemian to me as well. The added details like the raw edge where the skirt meets the bodice, and the little bow on the back (which isn’t just decoration — it ties to help close the gap between the closure and the seam) take this dress to the next level. Like all of the KeLibu patterns, this would work well as a very simple dress made with cotton and no frills, or you can let your imagination run wild and dress it up with lace, ribbon, and flowers. The Mori Shrug pattern looks incredible with this outfit, and is easy and quick to whip up.
