Pheasant Dress Pattern Tester Call! (New and Improved!)

May 21

Joseon Modern Designs is now looking for pattern testers who are interested testing my new and improved Pheasant Dress Pattern, which is inspired by flowing, 1970s prairie dresses and RenFaire gowns!

Thanks to pattern tester feedback from the first round of testing, I ended up improving the fit of my block through a separate pattern test. I also redrafted most of the pattern pieces, recalculated most of the yardage charts, simplified the instructions, and adjusted the design.

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.

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

The pattern tester call will close on Saturday, May 24 at 9pm PST. Selected pattern testers will be notified by Sunday, May 25 by 9pm PST and will receive their files by Wednesday, May 28 by 9pm PST. The pattern test will close on Sunday, June 8 by 9pm PST (~2.5 weeks with 3 weekends).

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 Pheasant Dress pattern once it's published.

More information, including the Pattern Tester Application, can be found here.
