Buy the Jackie Dress sewing pattern from Victory Patterns. Jackie is an elegant, easy to wear, super comfortable knit dress that slips perfectly from day into night. It features a built-up neckline and shapely seams that lengthen and emphasise your curves. The dress is fitted at the waist with a full, flowing skirt. A subtle opening at the back upper bodice closes at the neckline with three small buttons and rouleau loops. This project uses both a serger and a sewing machine. You can also make it with just a sewing machine.
Version 1 has long sleeves and falls just below mid-calf, approximately 32 1/2" (82.5 cm) down from the natural waist.
Version 2 is sleeveless and falls just below the knee, approximately 26 1/2" (67.3 cm) down from the natural waist.

The Jackie dress is a long dress with a high collar to be made in jersey with a minimum of 20% stretch, with princess seams from top to bottom and closed by a buttoned slit on the neck.
The instructions are super complete and very professional but the additional sew-along was also very helpful.Assembling 48 pages of the pattern and cutting the 11 pattern pieces is admittedly quite long but it IS a maxi dress!
Following the sew-along advice, I graded the dress from a size 6 at the bust to a size 8 at the waist.
And, I drastically reduced the height of the slit opening to avoid gaping after my recommended toile.
I used a wonderful heavy and soft silk knit jersey.
I am very happy with my Jackie dress, the pattern, the fabric and the combination between the two.

Despite the multiple panels, this dress is actually a fairly quick sew, and would make an excellent party dress as it is perfect for dancing in, the multi-paneled skirt adding lots of volume for twirling. Plus, due to being sewn in a knit fabric, it’s comfier than your average party dress.
The multiple panels also ensure a good fit.
