Sew The Tiered Dress Trend

Sew an on-trend tiered dress with one of our easy to sew patterns.

Tiered dresses are very popular right now. Sometimes called picnic dresses, they feature rows of gathered panels sewn together to create fullness in the skirt. 

At Pattern Emporium we have several different styles of tiered dress for you to sew for yourself. Our patterns include print at home, A0 copy shop & projector files (in most cases). Our tutorials contain comprehensive written & photographed instructions to guide you through each sewing project with success. 

We have sewing patterns for both woven & stretch knit fabrics.
