Sew Over It Ultimate Shift dress 18-30

Want to start dressmaking but don’t know where to begin? The Ultimate Shift Dress would make an ideal first project!

The pattern is designed with beginners in mind, and will guide you through the basics of dressmaking. Learn how to create bust darts and attach all-in-one facings like a pro. With no tricky zips or buttonholes to master, simply pop the dress on over your head and fasten with a hook and eye.

But don’t forget, with loads of options for customisation, including adding sleeves, sleeve frills and turning the dress into a top, there is plenty of scope for a more advanced dressmaker to play around and have fun!

Fabric recommendations:

Lightweight woven fabric such as cotton, cotton lawn, or for a softer look, rayon or crepe. You will also need a hook and eye. 

Size 18-30
