This is a free sewing pattern and tutorial for a short-length Santa dress with a back invisible zipper.
The women’s M size includes a matching Santa hat. For all other sizes, please download the hat pattern separately from Santa Hat .
You can adjust the pattern length to make it into a mini dress for a cuter look.
Both poodle faux fur and regular short-pile faux fur work well for the trim. For the main red fabric, we recommend a slightly brushed or thick, soft material.
When choosing fur, avoid very long pile types as they can get caught in the zipper and be difficult to handle. Short-pile fur is easier to sew.
In the children’s size, the waist darts have been removed for a more comfortable fit.
Once printed, cut along the join lines. The pattern already includes seam allowances (S/A), so it can be used as is.
The production process is explained with translation software.
