FEATURES  

Wear it long or short with multiple length options to complete a summer, winter or trans-seasonal look. You’ll look effortlessly stylish and chic in this gorgeous, flowy style.

It’s also super adaptable and can be designed for mini, knee, midi and maxi lengths. This makes it ideal to wear to all kinds of occasions – from parties and family gatherings to everyday wear, including a day at the beach, market or just around home.

  • Make a dress or skirt.
  • Fitted bodice.
  • Seam at the natural waist.
  • 3 Banded necklines - high, mid, low.
  • Roll neck option.
  • 5 Plain sleeves - sleeveless, cap, short sleeve, 3/4, long & long with cuff.
  • 2 Bishop sleeves - full bishop & cropped bishop.
  • Tiered skirt design. 
  • 4 Lengths - mini, knee, midi & maxi lengths. 
  • Optional pockets.

GATHERING WITH ELASTIC:

To make this even faster & easier, we’ve also included instructions on how to gather with elastic, including my recommendations on the best elastic to use. A video link is included.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN the Dream On Dress & the Every Day's A Weekend Dress (EDAW)?

  • Bodices: Dream On is fully fitted to the body. EDAW is easy fit.
  • Sleeveless: Dream On has a sleeveless option. EDAW doesn't.
  • Skirt: Dream On has skirt option. EDAW doesn't.
  • Maxi: Dream On includes maxi length. EDAW doesn't. Tier 1 is also slightly narrower on the Dream On too.
  • V-neck: EDAW has a v-neck. Dream On doesn't.
SIZING  
  • Size Range 4-30.
  • Includes ALL sizes.
  • Upper Bust Measurement 73-135cm (28.5-53").
  • View size chart here. 
FABRIC & TRIMS  

FABRIC:

  • Designed for 4-way stretch knit fabrics.
  • Horizontal stretch 25%+. Vertical stretch 15%+.
  • 2-way stretch knit fabrics with spandex, good recovery & vertical give can be used but please note that as the bodice is fitted, some 2-way stretch fabrics may sit higher on the body, particularly if they don't have spandex.

FABRIC SUGGESTIONS: include Viscose or rayon elastane knits, Double brushed poly (DBP), Single brushed poly (SBP), Stretch knit crepe, Poly elastane knits, Cotton Lycra (recommend soft & not over 180gsm), Bamboo & Modal elastane knits, Cupro, ITY, Wool knits, Sweater knit, Hacci, DTY, Liverpool. 

This pattern is not suitable for woven fabrics, nor woven fabrics with stretch.

FABRIC REQUIREMENTS:

  • Click here to view mini, knee & midi lengths.
  • Click here to view maxi length & skirts. 

TRIMS:

  • Bishop & Cropped Bishop Sleeve: 12mm (1/2") elastic. 
  • 6mm clear elastic to stabilise the gathering & waist. I recommend using Lastin - the frosted clear elastic. It is the least noticeable on Tier 1/2 join.

Note: you can also gather the traditional way if you prefer. In this case, you'll only need elastic for the waist. Woven elastic, knitted elastic, rubber or clear elastic can be use here (not braided elastic as it stretches out of shape).

PRINTING YOUR PDF SEWING PATTERNS.

At Pattern Emporium, most of our patterns include Print-at-Home, A0 Copy Shop, and Projector pattern files. Each listing specifies which formats are available for that particular pattern.

In each of our sewing pattern tutorials, you’ll find detailed information specific to that pattern's printing options.

1. Printer Settings. It's important to select the correct printer settings to ensure your pattern prints to the correct scale. You'll find printer specs in your tutorial &, for more detail, here on the website.

2. Page Printing Guide. You don’t need to print every page or size – just the ones you need. Our guide in the tutorial helps you identify exactly which pages to print.

3. Layout Summary. This shows what your print at home pattern will look like once assembled (taped together).

4. A0 Copy Shop Printing. What to ask for when printing at a copy shop. We recommend requesting plan printing and following the specs outlined above. Please note, printing at a copy shop is always going to be more expensive that printing at home.

For reliable A0 printing in Australia, we recommend Kristen at Dahlia Sewciety & Shelley at Plan Make Do.

In the United States, our customers recommend PDF Plotting. In the United Kingdom, our customers recommend Fabulosew & Patternsy.
