About this pattern

Finding the perfect fit may be a lifelong quest, but this gently flared sheath dress by Torie Jayne is quick to construct.

By stitching together a series of fabric panels using Princess seams, you'll create a frock that perfectly complements your curves. Choose a print or a solid pastel for instant figure-flattering glam.

Top sewing tip

If you don’t have an overlocker to hand, no worries: a simple zigzag stitch will work just as well to neaten and prevent raw edges fraying.
