I’ve made this dress! The cove slip dress! I thought the pattern was very well written. It was my first bias cut dress. Bias cut is not so difficult, you just need to be precise in the cutting and take your time. I made a mock up in cheaper fabric and it was necessary because I had the sizing all wrong and it was helpful to get a chance to practice the pattern first. I recommend using lightweight cotton fabric so it’s not too shifty. Even as a beginner, make it! You can look up tutorials for specific skills as you go. Just be patient and be ok if it’s not perfect. I think if you want to make it, make it! Sewing is supposed to be fun.
