Sew Over It Lulu Dress

Buy the Lulu Dress sewing pattern from Sew Over It. Inspired by the designer’s love of 1960s fashion, Lulu is a loose-fitting, slightly A-line shift dress and top with two sleeve lengths. With two-piece raglan sleeves, a pretty gathered neckline, and lovely keyhole detail, this is a quick project with lots of interesting features.

Ever adaptable, Lulu can be made in a range of fabrics to achieve totally different looks. Sewn in cotton Lulu is ideal for a summer barbecue or day at the park, whereas in crepe or georgette Lulu can become a slinky party dress. Play around with fabric combinations: try an opaque black rayon for the body with long, sheer sleeves in chiffon for a striking evening look. Lulu can also be worn as a tunic over leggings for an easy everyday ensemble.
