“The Jodi (along with the Aimee and Coralie) is my favourite shape of dress with, hallelujah, a waist in the proper place and not uncomfortably under my ribs! However, with this large-scale pattern, much more care needs to be taken with pattern placement, especially on the bodice and waistband pieces. I have ordered two to compare and both have very noticeable ‘bare’ floral-less patches and/or a cluster of the flowers together, which could so easily have been avoided. I might have to return as it’s going to bug me and the price point is too high to make do, but I do love the dress.”
