-This mid-thigh dress is semi-fitted. The pattern is simple and without bust & waist darts. -The neckline is finished with a distinctive and original collar. The dress has three-quarter sleeves and simple side seam pockets. -The pattern for women’s (sweatshirt)dress LUCKY YOU is constructed in a professional program for clothing pattern development and it is available in sizes 32–60 (size charts are in the gallery). -After purchase you will be able to download a PDF A4 pattern showing all sizes without seam allowances, a PDF file containing general info, and a ZIP file. -The ZIP file contains other versions of the pattern (A4 pattern in individual sizes with seam allowances outlined & A1 pattern showing all sizes without seam allowances) and a sewing guide for your new pattern. -Read the PDF file containing general info, where you can learn how to open the above-mentioned ZIP file. -When printing your new pattern, be sure to select "Poster" and "100% scale/size" to print the pattern correctly. Update: -This pattern has undergone an extensive update. The design is still the same, but I have modified the pattern files to make sewing easier for you. What’s new? -more sizes (the pattern is now available in 17 sizes) -clear and easy to use sewing guide, which contains useful info and tips -all sizes view of the pattern has thicker and visually differentiated lines (the pattern is easy to work with even if you print it in greyscale) -four pattern versions/views (more info below) Sewing instructions: -You can find sewing instructions for the classic version (grey, checkered dress) here: https://www.picolly.com/pattern-for-womens-autumn-dress-sizes-32-46-sewing-instructions-positioning-the-pattern-on-a-checked-fabric -And sewing instructions for the winter version (with lining) are here: https://www.picolly.com/pattern-for-womens-winter-sweatshirtdress-how-to-sew-the-dress-with-lining-step-by-step Skill level: -This pattern is suitable for advanced sewers. Recommended material: This pattern is designed for elastic fabrics of medium thickness. You can use: -elastic fleece -suede knits (Nicky velour) -sweater knits -stretchy laid-in knits (make sure it really is elastic - some combed laid-in knits aren’t) -elastic faux fur (it’s a good idea to ask sellers if the fabric is elastic or not when shopping online - sometimes you won’t be able to find out based on description and composition alone) -it’s also possible to use warmkeeper (alpenfleece) -You can (but you don’t have to) put buttons on the collar. I’ve used four 2 cm (3/4") wide buttons. Buttons on the sleeves are purely decorative. I recommend using eight 1.5 cm (5/8") wide buttons. -You will also need one-sided fusible interfacing to reinforce the collar and pockets. -You can also add thinner shoulder pads to your dress (a great idea if you are sewing with stiffer fabric). The required amount of material: (for 140 cm / 55" wide fabric) -Sizes 32-38: 1.5 m (60") -Sizes 40-46: 2 m (79") -Sizes 48-54: 2.5 m (100") -Sizes 56-60: 2.8 m (110") -You will also need 100 cm (40”) of (140 cm / 55" wide) secondary fabric for hems and the upper collar layer. There are four versions of this pattern: -1st version: PDF A4 - Individual sizes view (with seam allowances outlined) This pattern version contains pattern pieces with their seam & hem allowances. The stitching line is drawn in red, and the overall outline in blue. When using this version, cut the pieces exactly according to the template - blue outer lines. Do not add seam & hem allowances. -2nd version: PDF A4 - All sizes view (without seam allowances outlined) This version shows all sizes "in one picture" without their seam & hem allowances - multicolored lines in the pattern file are stitching lines. When using this version, transfer the pattern to the fabric and add seam & hem allowances. Only then cut out the pieces. -3rd version: PDF A1/A0 – Individual sizes view (with seam allowances outlined) This pattern version contains pattern pieces with their seam & hem allowances. The stitching line is drawn in red, and the overall outline in blue. This version is not included in the pattern files. If you would like to have this version of the pattern, please contact me at petra [!at] picolly.com, I will immediately send you this large-format pattern in the required size free of charge. -4th version: PDF A1/A0 - All sizes view (without seam allowances outlined) -You can choose what works best for you. One size view saves time during preparation - you do not have to think where and how much to add for the seams, because everything is already there. The large-format patterns do not need to be glued. You can print them on a home or office plotter or in one of the many copy centers.
