My daughter wanted a fancy dress for her birthday. Celeste and CKC to the rescue! The pattern is well written and easy to follow. I used the sweetheart option and love the ruffles. With so many options, this is one pattern you can use over and over and not tire of!

This is such a classic pattern with so many options. I love how you can make so many different types of dresses/tops from this pattern. Great for Holiday outfits.

Great pattern ! I made the sleeveless version with regular bodice for an Easter dress . I love the pouf that you can add to the dress. It really is a classic timeless dress and the well written pattern makes it a joy to sew.

Easy tutorial, beautifully finished pattern. Make me look like a better seamstress than I am! My only complaint, this is the first CKC pattern I have purchased that didn't have a size chart based on chest measurements. Instead it had a finished garment size. I was unsure which size to choose because I didn't know how much ease to include. I wanted the bodice fitted but worried it would be too small.

This dress is so cute! Very easy to follow and wonderfully put together. I love how many options there are.

I really like the long sleeve version of this pattern. This is the first one I will make, since it is cooler weather now. But I plan to make the sleeveless version in the spring. I have read the instructions and find them easy to follow. I may find it easier to put elastic rather than a cuff on the sleeve. This is a really cute pattern and will make up either casual or dressy. The instructions are easy to follow.

Love Celeste! So many options to choose from! Love the sweetheart bodice & embellishment and the attached petticoat is perfect for a party dress!

Love how you can make this dress unique by using any of the different combinations. It's like 5 patterns in 1!

The best sleeve options of any CKC dress!

I'd never sewn button holes, sewn with tulle or done a fitted bodice until this pattern. The instructions were clear and the dress came out super cute for my little's first day of school!

Love this classic style dress that comes with instructions giving lots of options. As always with CKC patterns, this one too has clear, logical step by step instructions.

This is such a cute pattern and I love all the options. The steps are easy to follow and the different options are easily laid out.

I used this pattern without many frills and love the way it turned out! I dreaded doing button holes, but the we're Totally worth it! The part that took me the longest was ironing my fabric before I cut it. Seriously simple but seriously cute!

This is one of my favorite CKC patterns. I love all the options that are provided and the results are beautiful. Truly customizable dress/top. So many more of these in the future.

I love all the options! Great pattern.

This pattern is super cute, but unfortunately I didn't have the best luck with the bodice on the smaller sizes. I made a size 12m and a size 18m for my daughter who is 2 and normally wears 12m bottoms and 18m tops. Both sizes had considerable gaping at the neck in front unless she was standing straight up with her shoulders back. I also made this in a size 6 and had zero problems! It looked perfect on the little girl.

A little more time consuming than some depending on options. Would have liked the neck a little more "boaty" if possible as sometimes it can be hard to tell. Still makes a gorgeous classic dressy dress!

I love Celeste! It might be THE most versatile pattern I own!

This dress is so lovely and turns out perfect. So many options in one pattern.

This is definitely one dress with multiple options that let's you dress down or up depending on the occasion. Multiple sleeve, skirt and bodice options make it easy to decide the type of look you want to achieve.

We love this pattern and will use often

I love this pattern!!!! It has so many options!

This pattern is fast and simple. It stitches up beautifully and has very clear instructions. So many lovely options. I have four little girls, so it will be well used!!

This pattern is like buying several in one- well worth the money sent as you can customize this dress in so many ways. Easy to follow directions as well.

Made my daughter a shirt from this and was a super easy and fast sew. Love it am working on a dress. Love that the sky is the limit on this pattern. So classic. Was my first time with button holes and didn't have any problems A must for every girl's wardrobe!

This pattern has tons of options to make a variety of styles. It is easy to modify and put in a back zipper if you don't like buttons.

I have been looking for a dress similar to this for months. I am so glad CKC has come out with this one. It is stunning with an easy to understand pattern and I will definitely be making many of them!

So many options! I made one for my daughter for Easter and she just loves it!

I have 2 of these cut out for a weekend sew...there are so many options for this dress. I love how you can create so many different looks out of one pattern!! This is going to be a "go to" pattern in my sewing room!! Thank You CKC

This pattern has so many different looks it is like having a ton of different patterns! I loved the ease of sewing and the beauty of the finished product. Buttonholes Andre not my favorite thing to sew but the instructions make even the buttonhole placement extremely clear.

beautiful yet simple

Love this pattern! You can customize this so many ways to put your own unique spin on it. Very easy to sew.

This pattern is extremely versatile and user friendly. I am brand new to ckc and this is the second pattern I have purchased and I can definitely say that I will be buying loads more!! I am so happy with both of my purchases and the detailed and thoughtful instructions that make it simpler for a beginner like me to create something beautiful! Thank you CKC!!!

2 hrs from cut to sew with kiddoes distraction and it was still quick, simple, and gorgeous. The options are endless! Sure to be a keeper and go to pattern choice.

I just love this dress, and I will be making it over and over again!

I absolutely love this pattern! I love that it has full back coverage and has so many options. I have made it in dress version and the top version. It is a very simple sew too!
