Sew Love Patterns Joelle Dress

Buy the Joelle Dress sewing pattern from Sew Love Patterns. The Joelle Dress is a gorgeous make that can be worn as either a mini dress or maxi dress. The maxi dress has a frilled hem, and both versions have a little peekaboo under the bust as well as optional side seam pockets. There is a very cute bow that is threaded through a tie at the front and sewn on with a couple of hand stitches so it is easy to take on or off. The dress is designed to be worn with a bra, although not every bra works. Wear it in bright colours in the sun, as a fun party dress, or even at your wedding!
