Pattern testers wanted

Well we're starting off 2013 with a call for help! We're now looking for some pattern testers to help us test out our first Gather dress pattern.

The dress is a lovely, chic day dress with a sleeveless or long sleeve option, in sizes 8-18 (UK). We're looking for all levels of sewers although the pattern is aimed at ambitious beginners. We will send you out the pattern with full instructions absolutely free, all you'll need is the fabric (appox 3 metres of cotton - full details will be provided) and notions. All we want in return is your invaluable feedback and comments!

So are there any budding dressmakers out there who want a FREE dress pattern? We're looking to send out the pattern packs within the next couple of weeks so if you're interested then get in touch with us as soon as possible on info@gatherkits.com or you can tweet us @gatherkits

UPDATE: we've had a really fantastic response, thanks so much for all the interest and we now have enough testers. Watch this space for future opportunities though!

    I've got far too much to do including a house that will soon be a building site, but I've tweeted and shared on facebook - hope you get the help you need!

    This sounds interesting :) I have made some basic (easy) clothing I'm still learning so this sounds good only problem is I'm very large chested and dresses never seem to fit my shape. I would love to learn how to make a dress that fits me. Any ideas?

    I'd love to have a go. It's been a while since I made any clothing, so should be fun!

    I am interested in being a pattern tester for you, this sounds great! I've been sewing baby/children's clothing for 4 years so about an intermediate sewer I'd say. mlower03 at yahoo dot com

    Just the term "day dress" sounds appealing. Would love to do this, I have emailed you.
