Throwback Dress PAPER Pattern
The Throwback Dress is a vintage-inspired design that’s deceptively simple to make, and even easier to wear. This garment has a scoop neck, A-line silhouette and bell sleeves, and is the same front-to-back, making this dress reversible.
Add a full lining and it can become inside-out reversible as well!
Optional pockets in the side seams are deep enough for modern smartphones. Retro with practicality!
This pattern has a choose-your-own-adventure format for the sewing instructions. I give you several different ways to finish your neckline + hems, how to add a full lining, and how to add side seam pockets. All instructions are written as beginner-friendly as I can possibly be!
The maker will choose their size based on their bust measurement.
ALL SEAM ALLOWANCES INCLUDED IN PATTERN
SEWING LEVEL: Beginner
SIZES: 2XS - 4XL (see size chart in pictures)
PATTERN INCLUDES:
- Instructional booklet with illustrations for each step
- Printed pattern on white 20lb. large-format paper
FABRICS: (see fabric yardage requirements in pictures)
- This pattern is designed for a light to mid-weight woven fabric with some drape, such as cotton, silk, tencel, viscose, rayon challis or a stable knit fabric, such as ponte, double-knit or knits without spandex.
- Side seam pockets + optional neck facing or bias tape facing can be made out of the same fabric or a Quilter’s cotton.
- Optional lining can be made with a classic poly or silk lining fabric or a lightweight cotton.
NOTIONS:
* Notions vary based on what type of hem finishing you choose to use. It’s really just interfacing.
- Neck Finish A: pre-made bias take or make your own out of Quilter’s cotton
- Neck Finish B: lightweight fusible interfacing for hem facing
- Neck Finish C: nothing!
