Special occasion dress pattern

Another special occasion dress for you is here!

You are wondering about what to wear to the wedding of your best friend in the next few days? You have searched all the clothing stores for a suitable dress to impress in a party? Or you just want a new project to challenge? This dress can fulfill your need.

The dress features a tea length, deep V-neck and peasant sleeves. The column design helps elongate your figure and makes you look slimmer. The special positioning of darts and seamlines at the skirt makes it unique. Of course, you can lengthen or shorten the length of the dress to your liking.

This dress can be made using one color or print, but can also be made into a color block dress. You are free to choose from endless combos. However, before you choose to color-blocking, make sure it follows the principles of color combinations. This article is a useful guide to color combination for you to refer to: Fashion Colour wheel: 15 Colour combinations for Clothes.

The pattern is created in pdf format. You download the pattern of your size (check in the Size Chart) and print it on A4 paper at actual size/no scaling/100%. There is a test square where you can check if the pattern is printed true to size. If your size is different from the one shown in my blog, please comment your measurements below, and I will make a pattern closest to your measurements. I can create the pattern in other paper sizes (A0 to A4, Letter, Tabloid), so please inform me if you need them.

Again, happy sewing! I hope to see your masterpiece!

XOXO

Instruction for printing:

Use a PDF reader to open the pattern file. You can use Foxit Reader or Adobe Reader, they are all free of charge.

Print the pattern at actual size (in the Printer setting, choose 100% or no scaling) on single sides of A4 paper. There is a test square on the first page where you can check if you have printed out the correct scale (the upper edge of the square is a centimeter scale while the bottom edge is an inch scale).

Trim off the left and right margins of the pages along the lines with the scissors symbols and then lay out all pages according to their numbers (the number of row and column of each page is printed in the center of each page, for example 2/4 means second row and fourth column). Tape them together and cut along the lines of the patterns.

All the patterns have seam allowances included.
