Product Description
The Nova Midi Dress is a slip on sleeveless tiered dress that has a Boho inspired look. This pattern works well in a print or plain fabric that’s perfect for spring and summer months.
We love this easy slip on dress that can be paired with a heel or slide or styled for everyday with a classic sneaker. The double bodice with no fasteners makes this an easy and quick make. If you prefer a shorter style just leave off the lower tier, but do check your personal length.
Fabric Suggestion
Silk, crepe, rayon, washed linen.

Used the PDF pattern which I had no problem with.
I altered the bodice by making it narrower down the centre seam and raising the armholes as I felt they sat too low. Shortened the bodice. Angled the bodice slightly more down the side seams.
Made 2 tiers but lengthened them so it’s still midi. Only because I didn’t have enough fabric for 3 layers.
Overall I’m happy with the dress, nice and breezy for summer or can be worn over a long sleeve top.

As the pattern would not print out to scale and the answer I got from style arc was not anything that I could understand , as I am not great with the computer. I was very disappointed. Eventually a friend was able to put the information onto a stick and took it to Officeworks. They even had trouble getting it to print to size. I will NOT be getting more patterns by this method. I do like your patterns and have made several styles in the past but was disappointed with the transaction this time. I would be unable to recommend to any of my sewing friends to purchase your patterns by this method in the future.

Great fit. I cut out my true size. Very pleased with my purchase. I will be coming back for more.
I really enjoy PDF. patterns. I get the pattern immediately, and I use thicker paper, so my pattern stays good and does not tear. thank you!!

dresses without buttons or zips is always a pleasure to make.
made both the 2 level and the 3 level. Easy to alter, I didn’t want the 3 level so long so took 5 cm off each level. Also as I made the 3 layer in a floral fabric the skirt layers didn’t fit across, so cut 3 for 2nd level (just not as long) and 4 for bottom (just not as long)

I Think, that it,s fantastic, that I Can sit on the other side of the World and order these beautiful pdf patterns and receive them in few minutes. To Day I ordered Nova Dress and like other patterns from StyleArc it,s very easy to follow the instructions , and the tutorial about the double bodice was a great help for me. So I,m sure, that this dress will be my favorite summerdress when i have finished it.

Loved this pattern, I just did 2 tiers and added 10cm to each tier. Beautiful dress, I can’t wait to sew another one. Sizing is perfect (size 10) true to size.

Made with a lovely cotton voile, so light and floaty. Used the size based on my upper bust measurement then did a full bust adjustment. The top is a tiny bit roomy, I may have been able to size down one size but might have struggled to incorporate enough with the FBA. I’m 5’4″ so I left the length per the pattern and it turned out to hit at my ankles.

I also love the dress is maxi length. I made it out of linen. Had to go 2 sizes smaller though, it runs rather large.
