Hi! I'm Joy from Joseon Modern Designs and I'm looking for pattern testers who are interested in testing my new Catbird Dress Pattern, which is inspired by flowing, 1970s prairie dresses and RenFaire gowns!

Two separately drafted size ranges are available to test: Marian (0-16) and plus-size friendly Guinevere (14-32), both in cup sizes A-G/H with two bicep options.

Features include:

-Built-Up Neckline + Scoop Neck

-Choice of Angel Wing Sleeves, Puff Sleeves, or Renaissance Style Puff Sleeves

-Tiered Wide or Narrow Flared Skirt available in Four Lengths: Separate Top (Non-Tiered), Short, Midi, or Full

-Seamed or Laced Front

-Choice of Dress or Separate Top

-(Opt.) Wide Waistband with (Opt.) Waist Ties

-(Opt.) Anchored In-seam Pockets

-Choice of Partial or Full Lining

-Centered or Lapped Zipper Options

-Yardage Recommendations made with optional Lace/Ribbon Placement in Mind!

-Choice of Centered/Lapped Side or Back Zipper for the Dress and Separate Top

Pattern testers can also choose from an A4/Letter, A0/Copy Shop, or Projector file.

The pattern tester call will close on Wednesday, July 23 at 9pm PST. Selected pattern testers will be notified by Thursday, July 24 by 9pm PST and will receive their files by Saturday, July 26 by 9pm PST. The pattern test will close on Sunday, August 17 at 9pm PST (~3 weeks).

This is an unpaid test; however, testers will receive a free JMD pattern credit (subject to JMD's Terms of Service) in exchange for completing the pattern test. They will also receive an updated copy of the Catbird pattern once it's published.

The Pattern Test Application can be found Here!
