Testimonials:

Billie seems complicated and technical to sew, but it’s the opposite. The pieces come together like a puzzle and at the end, you think, wow, did I really sew this?!” – Mirianne


This pattern is extremely versatile: cool and casual for summer beach days or barbecues, or chic and elegant in a beautiful satin or heavy silk for a wedding or an intimate summer dinner. The back neckline is stunning and the front, though it may seem quite light and sexy, is perfectly covering, and I feel completely at ease in it.” – Sarah


An easy-to-make jumpsuit, adjustable with a clever drawstring system that drapes beautifully!” – Marianne


I loved sewing this jumpsuit. The ‘lingerie’ aspect intimidated me, but with the instructions, it was a breeze! I am completely smitten with Billie 🙂” – Bérengère
