Skill level:

This pattern is labelled as confident beginner/intermediate. This is due to inserting a zipper and sewing a facing. A confident beginner with a few projects under their belt could tackle this project too!  A basic knowledge of how to use a sewing pattern, and basic sewing machine knowledge is needed for this pattern.

This pattern has been designed for light to medium-weight woven fabric with little to no stretch. We recommend something with a nice structure and nothing too light. You want it to have a little bit of weight to support the shape of the dress. Crisp cottons of a shirting weight, cotton twill, light-weight denim and chambray, linen and linen blends, Tencel, and suitings are all perfect for this dress.

You will also need:
- 30cm/12” invisible/concealed zipper* (low back option) or 40cm/16” invisible/concealed zipper* (higher back option).
- Small amount of lightweight fusible interfacing (neckline section only).

*If you are using a mid weight fabric such as denim, you could use a standard dress zipper instead of invisible zipper. You can switch out the type of zipper depending on the weight of fabric. Consider that if you use a standard dress zipper, it will add approximately 5mm or 3/16” to the centre back.
