Creativ 20706 Dressmakers Squared Dress Pattern Paper for Women, W: 80 cm, 15 m

My daughter has used this paper to create patterns pieces, she loves the paper and highly recommends.

I was worried that this paper might be a bit too thin to be ideal but happily this is not the case. While it is very fine (ideal for storage) it is surprisingly strong as well. I haven’t had any trouble with tearing which often happens with bought dressmaking patterns and the grid markings make it easy to line everything up nicely. Very happy.

Really helpful to have tracing paper big enough to trace patterns. However I hadn't realised how dark the gridlines would be, and they make it difficult to clearly see through the paper.

I use this for tracing sewing patterns and it's just about thin enough if you have a light surface to work on. The width is good, I've never needed to tape pieces together to fit a pattern piece on. The lines are handy for lining up the grain line, and straight edges. I would suggest getting some fairly thin felt tip pens to use on this. And the roll also lasts a fair while, and pieces traced last considerably longer than tissue paper (obviously depends on how often you're using it), plus you get to preserve your patterns entirely, which is worth the extra work.

This roll of dressmaker's pattern paper is a generous amount and good value. The paper is squared to it's very easy to line up the grid on the pattern with the grain on the fabric. As the paper is rolled it naturally curls itself back when you unroll it. Pulling it gently over the table edge cures this without hassle. The paper is thinner than I expected. On one hand it is easier to pin to the fabric when cutting out; on the other hand, it gets dog-eared at the corners quite quickly, so I've had to recut some pattern pieces after they have been used four or five times. The paper takes a medium heat iron without damage so it's easy to press out the creases if you fold your patterns. It's a fairly-priced product and it serves my purpose. I would buy it again.

The paper is great quality as dressmaking paper and the graphic is very helpful for measurements. However, the boldness of the lines makes it difficult to see the lines I draw. And when it comes to pattern drafting, pencils are better so I can erase mistakes, or alter lines but it's really only a broader nib pen that's easily visible on this paper. I've tried using it on the reverse and it's still difficult to make out. Other than that, if the lines were a bit fainter, it'd be 5 stars.

Good quality paper..just enough transparancy without becoming too delicate. I personally love the graph markings. Allows me to line up patterns I am tracing well and also draft better patterns on it. A must have for me. My tracings last and can be used again and again.

This is excellent paper and well worth the eye-watering price. I use it for altering patterns. It is strong, yet flexible, and the lines mean that I can get all my adjustments dead straight. It's a huge roll, and probably a life-time supply. I'm glad I invested.
