OK, the first pattern that I love to share is the oh so very classic mod dress, which you can see in the photo. The A-line mod dress was worn by Jean Shrimpton in 1965, which caused a scandal at the Melbourne Cup.
The dress is simple - and it is easy to make, even for those who only know sewing for a short time. It is also easy to mix with other accessories - see how Jean Shrimpton put a jewel on her chest and made it look elegant and expensive?
You can see in the technical drawing, it is such an easy project to make! It took me like about an hour to make the dress! And you can make some alteration to the pattern. For example, you can ditch the facing and use contrast bias tape to finish the neckline and the armholes. Or just find a very special printed fabric to make the dress. Or hand embelishing the neckline just like the Miu Miu dress below. They will be no less luxe than the one sold at a thousand dollars!
The sewing patterns are created for size 10, 12 and 14 petite.
The pattern can be downloaded for free at the end of the post. You can just print it on A4 paper (at 100% or no scaling) then cut along the line and tape them together. The pattern has seam allowance added, so just put it on the fabrics, cut and sew!
If you need other sizes and heights, please leave a comment and I will alter the pattern accordingly. I can provide patterns not only for petites but also other sizes (including normal and tall).
Happy sewing!

Bonjour. Si ce patron est fait pour des personnes petites, comment modifier les patrons M et L pour une personne de 170 cm? merci
