About this pattern

Designed by Amanda Walker, this off-the-shoulder dress pattern has elasticated sleeves, subtle side splits and a Bardot neckline, which sits comfortably on the arms, without the frustrating feeling of it riding up.

With only three pattern pieces to hand, beginner stitchers making this summer dress pattern will learn how to sew curved hems and how to create elastic casings with relative ease.

Top sewing tip

If you settle for seersucker, like our example, always prewash it beforehand to prevent shrinkage after sewing.
