A short fitted dress to be sewn out of a stretch knit fabric, ideally a 4-way stretch so there is no need for a zipper in the back seam but can also be sewn out of a 2-way stretch knit and depending on the amount of lycra, may or may not need a zipper. The dress has puffy sleeves with a box pleat detail on the wrist, and the sleeve itself can be made out of a non-stretch fabric. Fabric suggestion: A mid-weight stretch Knit Jersey. This pattern has step-by-step video sewing instructions. This is a downloadable DIY Pattern that is printed on a home printer as well as a PLOTTER version that a local printer can print. Show more
