However I put zippers on each side of the Dickey and facing so the Dickey can be interchangeable like Veronica Beard designs. This way I have a waterproof hooded Dickey for rainy days and a fleece Dickey for when I want just a little extra warmth. <br />Your work is amazing. Thank you for sharing.

I just wanted to point out that these days, most pattern brands come with small faults! It's due to budget cuts and reduced teams in some cases; in this case I think it's because DP Studio has a small multitasking team and design a LOT of patterns/collections, besides multiple collaborations. I've made patterns from them without any errors (the "caban asymmetrique" comes to mind, for example). I've always reported any found faults to them and they have always assumed it, corrected it and thanked me for my input. From my previous contacts, Dominique Pellen is very accessible and kind. I can tell he really loves what he's doing and it's not just a business to him :)Tanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073735708031525696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707374644461378032.post-19863579594803050942019-01-07T18:04:16.267+00:002019-01-07T18:04:16.267+00:00Sorry to have sounded so critical 😯, I guess it w...Sorry to have sounded so critical 😯, I guess it was the proverbial "drop"... I really appreciate their designs which are as you said challenging and innovative. I really enjoy your reviews of them and now that I know more about this coat, such a great idea, I am even tempted... Your reply was thoughtful and gentle, as should have been my comment. Lesson learned ☺.

I will certainly look into their website!<br /><br />Thank you Barbara, lovely as always!<br /><br />Julie, thank you for your lovely words about my work! It is true that I've found little faults in this pattern, but nothing that someone who knows something about patterns wouldn't fix. When I find an error I always report it back so it can be corrected. Anyway, I buy DP Studio patterns for their design and for the challenge, and I am very satisfied with both! I also studied their pattern making system and it's one of the best I came across so far. I would recommend their ready made patterns to intermediate to advanced sewists though; there's the need to know more than just following the instructions blindly.<br />I've found errors even in big4 patterns lately. Burda is certainly more consistent than most, but even then do little mistakes sometimes.Tanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01073735708031525696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1707374644461378032.post-6078778273899922532019-01-05T14:08:38.612+00:002019-01-05T14:08:38.612+00:00As always, amazing couture!

They claim "professionalism, rigor, etc." And it seems that there are always some errors in their instructions. I hope they read your blog and review their practices☺. For sure, I won't be buying their patterns. I sew mostly Burda and the big 4 and there are hardly any mistakes, so it shouldn't be that difficult?
