Hi there,
I think many of you wonder why sometimes I use strange English huh? I am not a native English speaker, and writing this blog is one of the ways I use to practice my English which is not used much in daily life. So please don’t laugh at me if I write something weird!
Back to the topic about sewing your own clothes. I know that many of you visit my blog looking for a simple dress pattern to sew, and I have considered a lot about making the patterns both easy and classy. Easy meaning it needs to be simple with not too many details (because for inexperienced sewers, the more details, the more errors – I went through this stage so I really know it). And classy, of course, meaning it has to be flattering and fashionable. That is why you are going to see a lot of timeless classic designs on this blog, most of them are worn by celebrities and royals, some are designer dresses (which are sold on the high end fashion websites like Moda Operandi or Nordstrom for thousands of dollars).
You may notice that sometimes the patterns are not made exactly the same with the original designs, mostly because I changed some details to make them simpler for the less experienced sewers. I will try my best to keep them as close to the originals as possible and not to ruin the whole designs.
The pattern I am sharing today is yet another simple design – the 3/4 sleeve sheath dress with waistband. And of course it has a lot of space for you to improvise. You can either use the pattern as is, or add a bit of detail – like a flounce sleeve, or a contrast waistband – to make it more interesting. This dress is modest enough to wear to work or formal event. Of course you can even wear it to a party if you choose the appropriate fabric and prints.
This type of dress is worn a lot by the royals. I have seen Kate Middleton, queen Letizia of Spain, crown princess Mary of Denmark wearing similar style – only different in colors and fabrics. So if you want to look elegant like them, pick up your scissors and start cutting your own dresses!
The pattern is created in pdf format using A4 paper. I can also create the pattern in other paper sizes (A0 to A4, Letter, Tabloid), so please inform me if you need them.
Not sure how to print and cut the patterns? Check the guide here.
Again, happy sewing! I look forward to seeing your masterpiece!
XOXO
