Want to start dressmaking but don’t know where to begin? The Ultimate Shift Dress would make an ideal first project! The pattern is designed with beginners in mind, and will guide you through the basics of dressmaking. Learn how to create bust darts and attach all-in-one facings like a pro. With no tricky zips or buttonholes to master, simply pop the dress on over your head and fasten with a hook and eye. It even comes with a free maternity sewing pattern hack. But don’t forget, with loads of options for customisation, including adding sleeves, sleeve frills and turning the dress into a top, there is plenty of scope for a more advanced dressmaker to play around and have fun! For even more customisation possibilities, check out the Ultimate Shift Dress Add-on Pack with new sleeve, cuff and hem options! Check out what everyone’s been making in the Ultimate Shift Dress Gallery and on Instagram with the hashtag #soiultimateshiftdress.
