Dream On Tiered Dress & Skirt

DREAM ON DRESS VIDEO: Watch here. 

THIS IS A DIGITAL PDF SEWING PATTERN. 

The Dream On Tiered Dress & Skirt pattern features a fitted bodice, tiered skirt, a fabulous choice of sleeves & necklines and easy to follow instructions.

Sew a tiered dress or tiered skirt version of this easy to wear style. Both with optional pockets  ❤

Wear it long or short with multiple length options to complete a summer, winter or trans-seasonal look.

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.

If you already own the Every Day's A Weekend Dress & prefer to just purchase the bodice add-on, this will be available on pattern release day too.

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: 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. 

PLEASE NOTE: this pattern is not suitable for woven fabrics, including stretch woven fabrics. Not suitable for thick fabrics. 

TRIM REQUIREMENTS 

• 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).
