The Lucy Halter Dress: Pattern Review and Giveaway!

As you guys know, I love to sew and it sometimes seems like all I make are clothes for Ethan and Ainsley.  So, when Scientific Seamstress contacted me and asked me to try out one of her awesome patterns, I knew immediately that I would use this opportunity to make myself something.   
 
Plus, keep reading for your chance to win a pattern of your choice!
 
The Sis Boom Lucy Dress… perfect for our beach vacation.
This was an awesome pattern!  I can’t rave enough about the professional step-by-step photos and drawings, excellent directions, and endless options for pattern variations.  The Sis Boom Lucy Dress can be made in multiple lengths:  top, short dress, knee length, and maxi.  I chose the short dress and I think I might make the top length next.   There are also coverage options (I chose the full coverage option), which makes it so easy to customize to suit your needs and your body type.
 
 
The back of the dress has elastic for a custom fit.  I did have to shorten my elastic by about 1.5 inches in order for it to fit me properly, but I think elastic is always one of those things that need to be adjusted according to your own measurements.
 
Between printing the pattern, cutting the fabric, and actual sewing, I was able to make this dress in under 3 hours.  Not too shabby!
I love the fit and the design and I would highly recommend this pattern and all of the other ones in her Etsy Shop.
 
 
One of you will be lucky enough to win a Scientific Seamstress pattern of your choice!

Here are some of my other favorites that I hope to get soon!

    I’m interested in the Jamie and Angie for me – and the Ethan shirt for the boys, and the Easy Girl’s dress for baby girl….looks like I really need to try one of these patterns ;op

  2. chinapat June 19, 2013 at 12:01 pm #

    I just finished the Dana. In process of making the Angie. The next pattern that I would like to have is the Simply Sweet, it has ALL kinds of options.

  3. Anonymous June 19, 2013 at 12:09 pm #

    I would like the Angie! Since I already have the Jamie, Meghan and Vanessa. 🙂

  4. Lauren Frede June 19, 2013 at 12:09 pm #

    I have been eyeing the Angie dress for a while. I already bought the fabric to make it and everything – just need to buy the pattern now 🙂

  5. Cori C June 19, 2013 at 12:13 pm #

    I would love to have the Marissa pattern- I’ve made myself a Jamie and would like to make my daughter one to match!

  6. Shenah Rowe June 19, 2013 at 12:19 pm #

    I would love to make the Devon Peasant Top/Dress

  7. Erin June 19, 2013 at 12:20 pm #

    I already have so many but I would either like the Marco so I can make daddy and my boys matching shirts or the bubble romper even though I don’t have anyone to make it for. 🙂 It’s just too cute!

  8. Jill F June 19, 2013 at 12:23 pm #

    Think I would chose the Jamie dress. I need something for me for once.

  9. Karen Tucker June 19, 2013 at 12:26 pm #

    I would love the Angie dress

  10. Kelly Smith June 19, 2013 at 12:29 pm #

    I already have a lot of SS patterns and need to make them. But the Devon and Lucy are still on my wish list! This looks gorgeous on you!

  11. kim leavens June 19, 2013 at 12:29 pm #

    I love the Jamie dress, I would also have to get the Marissa for my daughter!! Thank you for the chance to win 🙂

  12. Jen June 19, 2013 at 12:31 pm #

    When you posted a sneak peak of your dress, I knew exactly which one you had made! I have a summer goal of making myself an Angie dress. I have many of her dress patterns, but would love the Louey boxers for my nephew.

  13. Buzzmills June 19, 2013 at 12:33 pm #

    I love this halter dress…it looks so pretty on you! I also love that Angie dress, i’ve been eyeing it for a while now…

  14. sisforsewing June 19, 2013 at 12:34 pm #

    I love their patterns! The Precious dress is a all-time favorite around here (it’s been my go-pattern for weddings and christenings for the last 3 years) and I just got the Dana and the Maddie tops. I’m pretty sure those will also become a favorite 🙂

  15. Jolien June 19, 2013 at 12:38 pm #

    Still deciding, but it would definitely be a dress pattern, either the Lucy or the Angie dress I think. 🙂

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  16. Maria Jennings June 19, 2013 at 12:42 pm #

  30. LiciaLee June 19, 2013 at 1:51 pm #

    I think I want the betty ann. But it was a hard choice.

  31. LMB June 19, 2013 at 1:57 pm #

    I definitely have to try the Lucy. I hope I look as good in it as you do Hayley!!

  32. Erin Biggers June 19, 2013 at 2:05 pm #

    The Sis Boom Jamie Dress is one that I have been eyeing for a while now. I’m kind of chicken to sew for myself. lol

  33. Megan Sweetin June 19, 2013 at 2:06 pm #

    I have been listing over the Jamie, but I can’t justify buying a pattern for myself.

  34. Mae June 19, 2013 at 2:08 pm #

    I haven’t made one of her patterns yet, though I hear such good things& yours turned out great!

    Mae

  35. Jessica June 19, 2013 at 2:09 pm #

    I really need to start sewing for myself and would love to try the Sis Boom Jamie Dress.
    Jess

  36. Heather June 19, 2013 at 2:16 pm #

    I own almost all of the SB and SS patterns, but one I don’t have and would like to try is the Angie. BTW I love your halter dress–so pretty!

  37. vicki dean June 19, 2013 at 2:22 pm #

    I love her patterns,they are so easy!

  38. trinh June 19, 2013 at 2:22 pm #

    I would love the halter dress or the jamie dress.

  39. CraftyHourMom June 19, 2013 at 2:33 pm #

    Your link seems to be broken. 🙂 I would love to try any of the patterns! Maybe the Jamie dress?

  40. Leigh June 19, 2013 at 2:38 pm #

    I’d love to try the Lucy Halter or the Angie dress!

  41. Gigi June 19, 2013 at 2:40 pm #

    I have the Angie, Vanessa, Patricia and Devon patterns already. I’ve been wanting the Lucy and Jamie. I think if I won, I’d get the Lucy 🙂

    Thanks for the chance to win.

  42. Brandi June 19, 2013 at 2:50 pm #

    I love that! Looks great on you! I may have to get that and the Jamie now!

  43. Ingrid Echard June 19, 2013 at 2:57 pm #

    I really like the Sheath dress

  44. jenny w June 19, 2013 at 2:57 pm #

    i’ve been wanting the angie and now i want this halter too!

  45. Bekah June 19, 2013 at 3:02 pm #

    I really want the Meghan. I think it would be the easiest for me to nurse in. I miss wearing dresses while my babies are little because of the nurse-ability options (or lack thereof).

    • Jen@thecraftingfiend June 20, 2013 at 1:45 pm #

      I just was reading the comments and wanted to say I find I can nurse easily in the Meghan, Jamie, Devon, Lucy and even the dana (low neckline option) 🙂 Yes, I have made many sisboom patterns 🙂

  46. Kymy June 19, 2013 at 3:20 pm #

    I have a few of her patterns and love them. I think I would want the Lucy halter most if it can be adjusted for larger bust sizes.

  47. Jessica June 19, 2013 at 3:50 pm #

    i love the jamie dress!

  48. Sara June 19, 2013 at 4:08 pm #

    I love the Jamie & the Angie!

  49. Angela June 19, 2013 at 4:09 pm #

    I have the Jaime and Megan, would LOVE the Angie!

  51. mvink June 19, 2013 at 6:08 pm #

  52. Heather June 19, 2013 at 6:35 pm #

    You did an awesome job! It’s gorgeous! I have a lot of her patterns already but I do not have the Devon, I think that’s what I’d choose.

  53. Jen@thecraftingfiend June 19, 2013 at 6:51 pm #

    LOVE it Hayley! you look gorgeous! and so does the dress! (and I am impressed with your matching nailpolish too!)

  54. faechylde2 June 19, 2013 at 6:53 pm #

    I’d love to try the Lucy! I don’t sew enough for myself, and yours is gorgeous.

  55. Helen Moore June 19, 2013 at 7:12 pm #

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  59. Rebecca Holmes June 19, 2013 at 8:06 pm #

    I’ve always loved the Jamie dress and really want to try it someday, but I also like the simple lines of the Angie Dress.

  60. felicia June 19, 2013 at 8:10 pm #

    I don’t have any of her patterns but I’d love this new halter for the summer

  61. Beth Comella June 19, 2013 at 9:16 pm #

  62. Courtney June 19, 2013 at 9:21 pm #

    I have a few SS patterns but I’ve been considering getting the easy fits and the bowling shirt. I love the Simply Sweet. It was the first PDF pattern I ever used and it was so easy to follow.

  69. Kathy June 20, 2013 at 1:51 am #

    The Lucy is my absolute favorite! It’s exactly the type of dress I’ve been looking for

  70. Nortiness June 20, 2013 at 2:31 am #

    definitely Sis Boom Jamie Dress! I love this dress! I love that it looks like it can be tailored to suit myself, AND my girls dependent on fabric etc! 🙂

  71. Jill Andrade-Brown June 20, 2013 at 2:35 am #

    I, too, LOVE the Scientific Seamstress patterns. With three young kiddos, I don’t have a lot of time to sew. I find myself going back to Carla’s patterns for ease & great design!!

  72. Jill Andrade-Brown June 20, 2013 at 2:48 am #

    Would love to make the Angie and Jamie for my daughter! The Ethan for my grandson. Hard to choose just one. 🙂

    Ahhh, so many to choose!! Lucy or Jamie most likely!

    The Lucy Halter is the only Scientific Seamstress pattern that I don’t have so I have my fingers crossed.

    I love all the patterns, but I think I’d go for something for myself this time. Probably either the Devon or the Angie…I really have a difficult time deciding.
