Sew Over It Nomi Dress

Buy the Nomi Dress sewing pattern from Sew Over It. Knit dresses are great to keep you cosy in the colder months, and Nomi can be customised to create a go-to everyday dress or an elegant party dress that’s still super comfy to wear.

Choose between a simple crew neck or the twisted bodice option for a more glamorous look. Both necklines are finished with binding folded to the inside keeping everything nice and neat. When it comes to the length, you can make a simple gathered skirt that falls just below the knee, or add an extra tier to create a midi or maxi dress. Use a plain jersey to keep your Nomi Dress versatile; go for a stylish print for more impact; or opt for something special like a sparkly knit or a luxurious stretch velvet to create a party-ready outfit.
