Hi there,
Let’s take a look at today’s dress pattern. Do you think that this darling is somewhat vintage looking? And it also looks like a lot of high-street fashion. If you do not believe me, just visit nordstrom.com, theoutnet.com, etc. to see the brands like Victoria Beckham, Roland Mouret, Stella McCartney or Michael Kors – you will find a lot of similar designs.
This dress features a deep sweetheart neckline, half sleeve and below the knee length. It is suitable for special events, so choose a luxury fabric to make it look classy and elegant. You will definitely feel confident in this dress!
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 from the hip notch to the marked point. Then redraw the seam allowance and cut the pieces. It is similar to the demonstration below – the red lines are new side lines, the blue lines are new seam allowance lines.
And because this is going to be a high-class dress, I recommend that it be made with full lining or bodice lining. Be patient and extra careful when you sew the neckline – it will affect the whole look.
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!
