This is a free sewing pattern for a fitted dress with a hem panel that transitions into a pleated skirt starting around the hip area. The design follows a princess line for a flattering silhouette, and the pleated section adds movement and elegance.
The sleeves are slightly shorter than standard, and the tailored fit makes this pattern an excellent base for creating elegant dresses, formal wear, or cosplay costumes. It works beautifully with a variety of fabrics such as cotton, linen, or satin, depending on the desired style.
The pattern includes a built-in seam allowance (S/A), so it can be used immediately after printing. Simply align the joining lines, cut out the pieces, and start sewing. Suitable for both beginner and intermediate sewists looking to create a refined dress with pleated detail.
The production process is explained with translation software.
