A line shape is a miracle dress shape that is suitable for almost any body type. It flatters your body without too much effort – drawing eyes to the waist of a pear or heart shape bodies, de-emphasizing the hips and adding appearance of sexy curves for those who are too skinny or have a boxy body. I am totally in love with A line dresses and made myself a bunch of them – they do great in balancing my huge breasts and small hips. Whenever I feel uncertain about what to wear, my choice would almost be an A line dress.
I ran across this beautiful little black dress on Pinterest. It features a slit neck detail and A line knee long 8 panel skirt which is sleek and stylish and can make a nice outfit for many occasions. It can be easily mixed with belts or cardigan for a casual work day, or a day out with your BFFs.
The advantage of sewing your own clothes would be that you can sew many dresses with just one pattern. You can make a black dress for work, and a bright floral one for a picnic. It is up to your creativity! That is why I love sewing, and hope to share this hobby with everyone.
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!

Cutting instruction:
After taping down all the pages following the instruction, the overall layout of the pattern pieces is much like this (the arrangement of pattern pieces will vary a bit with sizes because I want to utilize all space to result in least number of pages):
The cutting instruction is for the garment with facings. If you choose to sew it with bias binding, skip the front facing and back facing pieces. If you choose to sew with bodice lining, skip the facing pieces and cut a set of front and back pieces in lining fabric.
