I didn't need customer service, and the pattern is easy to construct, and the instructions were easy to follow. Thank you for the option of instructions in English.

Disappointed… no seam allowance given so had to message to clarify. Fabric at shoulder seams on size 4 was different widths from front to back. Messaged twice before an error in drafting was acknowledged. No revised pattern sent. Dress still half finished as I can’t make the neck binding work satisfactorily.

Einfacher Schnitt 😀
Für Anfänger wäre vielleicht ein Zuschneideplan von Vorteil.
Vielleicht die Knippse für die Eingrifftaschen auch am Rückenteil noch mit einzeichnen.
Den Stoffverbrauch für das Innenfutter der Kapuze und die Kordel würde ich noch in die Materialliste mit aufnehmen.
Das Kleid ist schnell genäht und meine Enkelin hat sich riesig gefreut.

This pattern is super cute! I found that the hood doesn't overlap in the front as much as the picture show but that might have been due to fabric I choose.

Instructions are in German which intimidates me but the pictures are so straight forward. This was one of the easiest sew I’ve done and I am a beginner.
