Product Description
The simplicity of this pattern is the key to this designer dress. The wide side drape falls softly into the narrow hemline. You will love the flattering collar that sits high on the neck and continues into the front “V” insert panel. This is such a comfortable, easy dress to wear with a designer look.

Nice collar style but it was huge – I have had to copy and re-cut the pattern to get a normal-looking size in order to wear the collar standing up and looking similar to the pattern drawing.

I’ve made this dress 3 times now. The collar looks beautiful and it’s so flattering. Personally I learned the wings at the side on the bottom and shortened it quite a lot but I adore it!
I have it in denim, linen and crepe and intend to alter the pattern again to make a shirt with the top half.
Definitely tack the neck before sewing but it’s not as hard as you might think.
Beautiful modern, elegant dress.

I love this dress! I made it out of a lightweight, relatively stable jersey and it drapes nicely. I easily wear a size 30, but this dress makes me look a few sizes smaller. The pictures were for making the collar were easy to follow. I will definitely be making a few more, one for evening use…

Even for an experienced sewer this dress was a little tricky in parts – particularly ensuring the neckline was flat and even. However, the result was well worth it and I love the drape effect. I tend to wear the collar folded down a little as I like the look. I did take it in a little around the waistline to give it a little more shape as I found it to be a little loose on me.
I made it from a soft summer fabric and I am now looking forward to wearing it again in the hot weather in our Aussie summer..

A beautifully draped dress. I’ve had compliments! The base of the neck was a bit tricky – I would tack it first, next time, before sewing. I prefer wearing it with the collar down, but discovered that this opened up the vee more and showed more cleavage than I am comfortable with, so I sewed up a few centimetres and then sewed several buttons along it. Looks fabulous.

I made this dress in a rayon poplin paisley print. I LOVE the dress… it was my favorite until the weather turned colder this month, and I will be making it again.. The only thing that could make it better would be if there were an option to add a sleeve, for two reasons. One is that I am not fond of the bare arm look, and the other is that I plan to make it up in a wool challis and wear it in winter as well, and I’d rather spend the time sewing than figuring out how to do that on my own. .
