High Waist Tuck Dress Sewing Patterns | DRCOS Patterns & How To Make

Comments are made using translation software.

This is a high-waisted, waist-seamed tuck dress.

It features tucks at one point on the front center of the skirt, one on the front side, and one on each side of the back, giving it a refined appearance.

The skirt portion is almost circular due to the tucks, resulting in a subdued yet elegant silhouette.

As it is high-waisted, please refer to the length measurement for the high-waist section.

The high waist with tucks helps control the volume, making it compatible with panniers.

It pairs beautifully with voluminous panniers, creating an incredibly cute ensemble.

This pattern is recommended as a base for modifications, such as creating a gothic lolita style.

After printing, paste it according to the pasting line,Cut and use.

The pattern has a seam allowance, so it can be used as is.
