Buy the April Dress sewing pattern from Forget-me-not Patterns. April is an A-line dress pattern designed for woven fabrics. It features a wavy design line that goes all the way around the body. Make April in an understated linen, or go wild with a colour block!

The skirt has two different options: a gathered view and a flat view, so you can choose your silhouette. The pattern also includes the Gemma Belt, a rounded tie belt, which echoes the curves of the dress design.

This is an easy-fit pattern, the only closure being a hook and eye at the back neck, and there are three bust fit options so you can get a great fit.

If you are feeling ambitious, you can up the skill level with a pocket hidden in the wavy seam. Or, keep things simple and discreet with an in-seam pocket at the side.
