Friday Pattern Company: The Westcliff Dress

A paper sewing pattern by Friday Pattern Company.

The Westcliff Dress is an easy to sew dress for knit fabrics. It features a wrap front with full coverage and a neckline that won’t gape! There is an optional lower tier that makes this dress a maxi. The pattern also includes a tutorial on how to turn this dress into a cute cropped top.

Pattern includes sizes XS-4X and has two cup size bodice options (B cup and D cup).

Fabrics: Perfect for knit fabrics of all kinds. You need at least 25% stretch. If you choose a knit with more body, like a ponte, it will have a more structured modern look. If you sew it in a drapier knit, like a rayon jersey, it will have a more romantic look.

Notions:
Matching thread
Stretch machine needle
Safety pin
Optional: clear elastic for stabilizing shoulder and yoke seams

Suitable for advanced beginners/intermediate - this is an easy pattern with clear and detailed instructions, but it helps to have some sewing experience before trying to sew with stretch fabrics!

Friday Pattern Co. donates 5% of the proceeds from the sales of this pattern to RAICES, a nonprofit agency that promotes justice by providing free and low-cost legal services to underserved immigrant children, families, and refugees.
