Can one dress do it all? This one comes pretty darn close. Featuring both a v-neck and crew neck, this dress is loose fitting while still being ultra-flattering at the waist thanks to a specially designed belt that includes elastic. Wear it over pants as a tunic or to your next Sunday in the park; either way, this confident beginner-level pattern definitely ticks all the boxes.
Recommended fabrics: light-to mid-weight cottons, linens, and silks. The more drape to the material, the more fluid the dress will be. The front bodice is constructed in a double layer of fabric which allows for more coverage of the bust area if you choose a lightweight, semi-translucent material.
The Damn Good Dress appears more fitted in the front than it truly is. There is plenty of extra volume in the back body to allow for comfortable movement and beautiful draping along the waist when you tie the elastic filled belt. Construction details include a clean-finished neckline, faced hems, and mitered corners.
Paper pattern contains an illustrated instruction booklet and a full size pattern.
