Go With The Flow Dress Sewing Pattern

It features options for different necklines, straps, lengths, & pockets.

Designed for woven fabrics, it drapes beautifully in rayon, linen blends, and light cottons, making it as comfortable as it is stylish. Whether you choose a mini or maxi length, or customise your own, this dress flows with you.

• A-line / tent silhouette for an easy, relaxed fit
• Straight or V-neck yoke.
• Mix and match front and back styles (eg. V front & back; straight front & back; V front with straight back).
• Narrow or wide straps – choose from fixed or adjustable options.
• In-seam pockets – easy to sew.
• Customisable lengths – includes mini and maxi, with simple adjustments for a midi & more.
• Optional centre back seam – can be sewn as designed or adjusted to cut on the fold.
• FBA option included – a separate pattern piece with a bust dart is included.

• Size 4-30.
• Includes all sizes.

Designed for woven fabrics, this pattern performs best in fabrics with some drape - rayon & linen rayon blends are ideal. Viscose-based chambray also works beautifully. 

While lightweight cottons and linens are still good, it’s best to avoid heavier fabrics like denim, sateen, or drill—unless you’re after a more structured shape.

This pattern is tailor-made for large graphic prints. 

See tutorial page 6 for extensive information on how fabric choices affect your tent dress.
