I am sharing the pattern for a basic piece – a V neck sleeveless sheath dress. It has a deep V neck to add sexiness to the very common sheath dress, and also to those who has heavy top, it helps flatter your body shape. You can also make a really small and easy modification to the shoulder darts to add something special to this staple garment: instead of sewing it into a dart, make it a little box pleat, or gather it to create a ruched shoulder detail. Be adventurous, and you will be surprised with how creative you are!
The dress pattern I share in this post has a straight skirt. If you prefer a pencil design, narrow down the side seams, starting from the fullest part of the hip (marked with notches) down to hemline. It is a really quick modification, mark a point at the hemline at the desired width of skirt hemline and draw a straight line (the red lines) from the hip notch to the marked point. Then redraw the seam allowance (the blue lines) and cut the pieces. You can see in the demonstration below:
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.
Print the patterns on A4 paper at actual size/no scaling/100%. Not sure how to print and cut the patterns? Check the guide here.
Do you want to add side seam pockets to the pattern for additional convenience? Just go ahead because it is too easy, just follow the quick instruction here.
Again, happy sewing! I look forward to seeing your masterpiece!

Hello, I love your patterns. I’d like the V neck sheath dress pattern but am between sizes - my measurements are B 85, W 71, H 96 - so am between xs and s. Also is it possible to have the pattern in A0 print? Many thanks.
