Paradise Patterns, Solig Dress PDF Pattern

The Solig Dress is a simple dress with a sleek silhouette, suitable for beginners as well as advanced sewists. View A features an elastic back and feels more secure around the bust than View B which has a slightly scooped gathered back with ties. Both views have a gently curved front neckline with side seam bust darts and thin straps. You can choose to make a maxi length version with or without side seam slits, or a mini version. The neckline is finished with a facing that covers your entire bust. The instructions will walk you through installing elastic in the facing hem to make it into a low support built-in-bralette, if you so choose.   This pattern includes sizes 00-30 (Bust 31”-57” / 79-145cm).   This pattern will teach you some fun techniques including:  French seams  Elastic channel French seam slits  Turning thin straps Skill Level: Advanced Beginner    What's Included:  Sewing instructions with clear illustrations for each step Layered A4/Letter Print-at-Home file  Layered A0/Copyshop Large-Format file  Layered Projector file For sizing details, fabric requirements, and additional notions, see the charts in photos.    Fabric Recommendations: This pattern is made for woven fabrics and the look of it will change a lot depending on the fabric you choose. A crepe will make it date night ready, whereas a linen or cotton will make it the perfect everyday summer dress. Other favorites include seersucker for ultimate coolness, cotton poplin for a crisp and billowy silhouette, or any rayon/tencel for a beautiful drape.
