- Hi everyone, I'm back today with my detailed review and thoughts on this very popular pattern that was released a couple of years back but as usual I have only just got around to making it, I hope you enjoy.
You can get the pattern here

My favorite part is you thinking it looks like an orange convict jump suit and then fearlessly make it in terra cotta orange! And yes here you are with a beautiful jumpsuit
Thank you - this is on my list of patterns to buy - I'm so pleased I came across your review, it's really helpful.
Appreciate the detail you go into, addressing all aspects that often do not get addressed in a lot of pattern reviews. Valuable for beginners and great reminders for others that have been sewing for a while.
Thank you for the observations and warnings! I love this jumpsuit on you!
Hi Rachael, Absolutely love your jumpsuit it looks amazing on you! Thanks for all your advice & tips they will help do much! Been watching you since our nightmare of Covid began in March. Your channel is wonderful! 🤗 Can’t wait to make one!
Loving the jumpsuit, the fabric is gorgeous and the colour really suits you. Thanks for the review.
Thanks so much for your honest and detailed review. It was really helpful and I feel more confident now to have a go at the Zadie! I think your fabric choice is lovely and the fit is amazing. I can only hope that mine turns out as well 😊
What a lovely make! The colour is great on you. I was late to the Zadie party too but made 2 at the end of last summer - can’t wait to wear them again this summer.
thank you for the review. having seen your make last week i went and purchased the pattern and now seeing the review feel confident making it
Your jumpsuit is beautiful! Wonderful review. Thanks for sharing!!!
Rachel thank you for the Zadie jumpsuit review. I love when you know what youare getting into when cutting and sewing a pattern. I have sewn some patterns that don't explain things good at all and end up fustrated and put in a pile of "May get back too. Thank you foryour honest opinion and some great tips. Have a great week.
It looks great on you Racheal. I love that you are so honest with your reviews and understand why you are sometimes hesitant to do what everyone else is doing. It really is a lovely contemporary piece though 🤗🤗🤗
This is one of the best I have seen! Love it! Inspired to get on with mine!
Love the jumpsuit the fabric colour looks awesome on you..my favourite colour..thanks for the great review.
Fabulous review, really helpful and detailed, you explain things really well, thank you for sharing x
This review is so helpful for newbies like myself! Thank you for making this.
Just getting round to thinking about making this Rachel. Great review and your version is lovely. V helpful 😻
Come on girls, we can’t refuse to make this jumpsuit after such a comprehensive review from Rachel, but just make sure we all don’t descend on Yorkshire this summer wearing it!
Great review Rachel, it looks fab on you xx
Hi Rachel!
What a fabulous make - you look gorgeous!
Thanks for this. I love your reviews - you pull no punches but give praise where it’s due, too! Also, thank you for the full back view photo of your Zadie, not many people show the back of their makes and I don’t understand why as the back is just as important as the front...isn’t it?
I hope you’re having a lovely Sunday.
💜
I absolutely loved your review of this jumpsuit it was so informative how could I not want to try it.... like you I am going to be late to the party on this but who cares....the good point for me though is I cut this pattern out a year ago then left it unfinished...so you have inspired me to finish it now though so thank you Rachel.xx
Great review. I love your honesty about the instructions, etc. Sometimes I feel that youtubers are affraid to give their true impression about patterns. I really love the color choice that you made.
Such a great review!! Thank you so much!!
Definite winner, colour and style are lovely, thanks for the review.
I just bought this pattern after you made it. Thanks for the review gives me some place to start
Great review Rachael 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Very thorough review thank you. The colour really suits you.
You look great in it and I'm in love with the front portion of it. It's something I can see myself wearing. Thanks for the review. Much love and stay warm my dear.
This is such a fantastic review, and so helpful, thank you x
Thanks Rachael for a very helpful review.
I loved your review by the way, thank you.
I am very very late to the party! :) I just purchased the Zadie pattern to make for this spring & summer. Thank you so much for this very detailed pattern review. You have given me a wonderful start to my make!
This is absolutely gorgeous Rachel. I’ve been on the fence about it too! Now I’ve seen this review it makes me think might have a bash at it! 👍🏼
Love it Rachel so cool for summer 💕
I am even later than you to the Zadie party 😃 - found your review so helpful and informative. I am only 5'3" so based on Tamlyn's review will probably take a few cms out of the rise. Looking forward to make it now i'm armed with more info. Thank you 😊
You look amazing in that!!
You definitely need a couple more in other fabrics
Can't wait to see those
Well done
Take care
Excellent review
Haya. Great, full, comprehensive review. I remember your thoughts about the Zadie early on (laughs to myself) I wish sometimes pattern designers would explain a little more about why they say X,Y & Z is like this, or this will happen if you skip ect. . . You look lovely in your Zadie & the color of your chose fabric is wonderful. Thanku for sharing. x
**round of applause** I'm the same as you, I got into creating my own wardrobe because I couldn't deal with having a wardrobe so very similar to everyone else, no snobbery, no shade I just wanted to wear what I want to wear, rather than what a small number of fashion designers & professional buyers decide is big on the high street! And I admit, regardless of how much I like a pattern, if the sewing community goes bananas for it, I avoid it like the plague until its died down again! 😊 x
Great review Rachel,and the jumpsuit looks really nice on you.xxJean.
Great review Rachel and beautiful jumpsuit! I’m glad you waited too! I say that because I can relate...I don’t like making something everyone’s making at the same time and that’s usually the reason why I do so many hacks! I love the fit of this jumpsuit on you! I’ve not made many jumpsuits myself, maybe two in my lifetime and one was a romper (shorts). But I do like them especially yours in this beautiful color! I had to laugh when you mentioned some looking like the Americans prison jumpsuit!! 😂😂😂 . Great job!
I love this hair colour on you. This is the best for your facial tones.
Love the fit of the jumpsuit on you and the colour is gorgeous. Love your hair in a bin too.
BonjourvRachel, very good review, I can imagine a little playsuit with flowers and leaves for the summer! Enjoy your day! Christine 🦊🇨🇦🦊
Love this review, I’ve only just this week received the pattern but then again I’ve only been sewing just over a year , this is very helpful , I’m a bit worried about adjusting the rise which I think I may have to do as I’m only 5’2 & I have a low waist , I may make it in my cheap fabric first 🤔
I'm just about to make this Rachel so am so pleased I came across your vlog. Guess what- I didn't have enough fabric to get the bias tape cut.!!.. might have to use lots of very small pieces! I love your version x
Love this review Rachel. I realise that I prefer line drawings because designers so often choose large and dominant prints to illustrate their instructions and I find it hard to see the details which are so important. I would also like to share a bit of Aussie sunshine with you!
Great review and looks just great on you :)
The Zadie really suits you. I wants some linen, to make some trousers, but felt I wanted to feel it first. Thanks for the recommendation. The pattern has now been extended to cover size 20 plus.
Thanks Rachel, great review. It looks great on you. I don't think it's my cup of tea, but who knows, I may give a try one of these days.
Looks really lovely 😍 I’ve made 2 for myself & 3 for my daughter. I also sized down but I’m short so took out crotch & bodice length. Totally agree on the confusing photos in some pattern instructions too, doesn’t help with busy patterns or fabric that you can’t see if it’s the right side or inside when you’re trying to figure out what they mean. I’d much rather watch a video tutorial.
I love the variegated serger thread!!!
Wonderful review! The color and fit of the jumpsuit looks perfect on you. You don’t look like a convict at all! 😉
Excellent review. Not that I’m tempted to make a jumpsuit....ever!
Very useful review thank you
The jumpsuit suits you and appreciate your review.
Love it!
I love it!
Ha, You think you are late to the party, well I may have missed it! Im just making up my Zadie. thanks for all the tips on fit Rachel
This was a really comprehensive review Rachel. The jumpsuit looks lovely. I always read lots of reviews and look at pictures when I want to make a pattern and I’m usually very late getting started. I bought the wrap jumpsuit by sew different at the knitting &stitching show which is very similar. Sometimes I just need to go for it! Thank you 🙏
I think your zadie looks soooo good. I’ve never managed a successful wrap anything so am reluctant to part with 3mts of fabric 🤦🏻♀️
I dont make wrap things either i think my bust is too big for them ..34GG lol
This was super helpful! If I shorten the rise should I add that back in somewhere else? Thank you!
Looks lovely on you.
It looks really good. I am like you in that if something is really popular I want to back off but then I think, everyone's version will be different and am I likely to be in the same area as another make? We are so few and far apart I don't think so. Thank you for doing these videos.
Hi Rachel, you were right when you messaged me and said that you thought the size 10 would be good for me rather than the 12. I’m only 5ft 2’, I made up toile and omg I need to shorten the waist to crotch length by at least 2 inches and the leg length, that would still leave a 2 inch crotch drop, the waists on most patterns on me are always to short so like you I will lengthen the bodice by 1inch, I found the trousers so wide on me too and wondered if I should go to an 8, I’m gonna make another toile in the revised size and will let you know how it went! If I can get them to fit like yours does I will be really happy, I tend to like my clothes to fit where they touch, and know you need a little wiggle room in a jump suit! Your review was great and extremely helpful, thank you xx
Looks gorgeous on you
Great job! Can you please tell me where you got the thread that you used for serging? I absolutely love the different colors!
I agree with every word. I must have a go at making this, but I think I’d make the legs a whisker narrower.
Just cut my Zadie out so this was a really useful review, just wondered if you can get away with pockets in a different fabric?
Hi I love the zadie jumpsuit, your fabric is lovely!
I have just purchased the pattern and am rather a beginner but want to give it a go!
I have ordered some fabric and have traced the pattern onto my tracing paper, but when I look at instructions one of the first steps is to stitch front to rear at the shoulder seam but mine don’t match?, I have checked but one shoulder seam the pattern is straight and the other has a slight curve?
If I try match then the armholes wont match so not sure what I’m doing wrong, maybe it will become apparent when I start?
Any advice welcome!
Thank you

Hi, is there any way i could squeeze the sleeveless version out of 2 metres of linen (53 inches wide) if i made the bias strips from smaller strips joined together?
Some great tips for beginners. Makes the garment construction far less intimidating.
When I first saw it 3 years ago I really did not like it. However, It’s been growing on my and your version is beautiful. My question is, do you have the Now and Then Beach Pyjamas pattern? I was wondering how different they are as the latter also has a dress 😊
love the rainbow overlocker thread! What brand is it?
It’s from little Ts haberdashery
I am long bodied, so I still had to lengthen the crotch depth by ¾ inch as in my toile I struggled to get I off once I tried it on 😂
😃
So it’s been enough time… how does it feel in the summer? (Too hot?). And have you adapted it in other seasons with a top underneath? Also does it show a lot of cleavage if you are sitting and slouching? I am an older not flat chested woman but I don’t like low cut necklines that slim girly ingénue figures can handle.
Late to the party! I think that is a positive thing imo!😃🇨🇦

I am so much the same with new designs! I don’t like bandwagons in general lol.
