Description Description

This bias cut slip dress comes with multiple neckline, back and length options that can be mixed and matched to create your own style.

View A has a a deep V front, with a gathered bust, V cut back and finishes at the calf.

View B is a mini dress with a subtly shaped V neck with a gathered bust. Buttons and button loops at the centre front neckline give more coverage. The back features
optional darts for extra shaping.

The pattern cut on the bias allows the dress to gently mold to the body.

Fabric requirements: see last image for details.

FITTING NOTES:

This pattern has been drafted for a height of 5’7.

Don’t take too much notice of the finished garment measurements, as these will change with each different fabric choice. The measurements have been taken from a static

pattern piece, but the fabric will stretch and fit around the body as it’s been cut on the bias and will have more give than something cut on the straight grain.

This is a slip on dress - meaning there are no zip or button closures. Because of this, the waist has a bit more design ease to account for the fact it needs to be pulled over the bust.

The bodice has two cup size options - a B cup and a C/D cup.

To find your sewing cup size, measure your high bust and full bust.

The difference between the two measurements will tell you your size.

Eg: 2.5cm/1 inch difference = A cup

5cm / 2 inch difference = B cup

7.5cm / 3 inch difference = C cup

10cm / 4 inch difference = D cup and so on

This pattern comes with a B cup and C/D cup option - the top front pieces fit within the other pieces, regardless of cup size and view. The skirt front and back pattern pieces are the same throughout.
