The Caroline wrap blouse & dress's pattern test was so much fun. I had 25 women helping me out, they received the pattern and sewed a blouse or dress in their own size, and provided feedback for me.
Before the final pattern was released I was able to make improvements both to the pattern itself, but also the sewing instructions - thanks to their feedback.
The most notable changes in the pattern is that the cropped blouse has been lengthened: from 2 cm in the smallest size up to 3 cm in the largest size. The same for the peplum: from 1 cm in the smallest size, up to 3 cm in the largest size.
