Description
Description
The Sydney Designer Dress is a modern cocoon-shaped style with an architectural feel. Sculptural panels are cleverly engineered to create elegant drape and movement, while the extended shoulder line adds balance to the silhouette. The hem falls to a mid length at the front with a longer back for a graceful finish.
Despite its striking shape, this dress is an easy make, the perfect project for sewists looking for a contemporary design with thoughtful details.
Note: Style Arc patterns are designed with the confident maker in mind. Unlike many independent patterns that arrive in a branded folder with step-by-step illustrated instructions, Style Arc patterns are supplied as a single printed sheet in a protective plastic sleeve. The instructions are concise and not illustrated at every stage, reflecting their origins as true “designer’s drawing board” patterns. This makes them an excellent choice for experienced sewists who are comfortable working with less hand-holding and who want access to up-to-the-minute, fashion-forward designs straight from the drafting table.
