Maria Pocket Dress: Pattern Tester Showcase

Tester ShowcasesCourtney Clark

Maria, Maria! The dress I’ve wanted forever but didn’t know until I made her! After making the Piper Pocket Dress last summer I knew I wanted to create another dress with pockets but sleeveless and in a heavier weight yarn so it works up faster.

My testers have showcased how this pattern works on different bodies, with different fibres and some variety in skirt length! Check out their different versions and exactly what yarn & how much they used, as well a couple testers chose not to do the elastic waistband so you can see how it looks with and without the elastic (it is noted if they did not use it).
