After eying this pattern for far too long, I have finally taken the plunge and sewn it. In this article, I review in details the Joan Wiggle Dress pattern by Charm Patterns. I tell you where to find it. And I give you my opinion on the best fabrics to use for this dress<\/strong>. But first let me introduce you to my latest make.<\/p>\n\n\n

Where to find the Joan Wiggle dress pattern<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I like to think that this pattern is exclusive<\/strong>, as it is a bit like a Thermomix (another obsession of mine). You cannot readily buy it in physical or online shops. It is only available to Gertie’s Patreon<\/a> members<\/strong>, who pay a monthly fee for access. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be honest, the idea of a monthly membership really bugged me initially. But seeing all the beautiful patterns available – such as the Brooklyn Jacket<\/a> or the Swing Coat <\/a>only to name the one I have sewn up to now – was just too tempting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I finally became a patron and I am so glad I did.<\/strong> The monthly fee is extremely reasonable, starting at \u00a35.50\/month. For this, you get monthly pattern releases; access to all past patterns; and incredible instructions, both written and video for each release. I am really in awe at the incredible work Gertie does!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joan Wiggle Dress pattern review <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is the Joan Wiggle dress?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Joan Wiggle dress is a close-fitted dress (or top) with two bodice options: deep-plunge or high-neck; and a straight, below-the-knee skirt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Both versions of the dress sewn by Gertie look equally amazing. I was initially very tempted by the deep-plunge version… but then chickened out, wondering how to wear a bra with it… So my dress is the high-neck version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
