Buy the Shelby Dress and Romper sewing pattern from True Bias. Shelby is a princess-seamed dress or romper with four views. Each has a V-shaped neckline, front button opening, and back waist tie. Views A and B are dresses with a traditional short sleeve. View A is a mini dress hitting mid-thigh, while View B is a longer dress that ends around the ankle. Views C and D are rompers with a cap sleeve. The romper gives the illusion of being a dress with the coverage of a short or pant. View C is a mini length romper hitting mid-thigh, while View D’s hem ends just above the ankle.

This sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:

– PAPER (next working day dispatch on orders and FREE UK delivery over £50)

– PDF (available to download immediately after purchase). What is a PDF?

– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop (We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these. The PDF files will be emailed immediately after purchase, and the A0 pattern sheets will be dispatched next working day). What is Copy Shop?

Note if purchasing copy shop printing: Some of the pattern pieces are divided across two A0 sheets (due to their size). The A0 sheets will need to be joined at the markings.

Suggested fabrics: Lightweight woven fabrics with drape such as cotton, rayon challis, crepe, silk, voile and linen.

Fabric requirements: Extra fabric may be needed to match stripes/plaids or for directional prints.

Views B and D: 54″ (137 cm) or wider fabric: 5 – 5.5 yd (4.6 – 5 m).

Sizing: US 0 – 18 or US 14 – 32 (approx. UK 6/8 – 18/20 or UK 16 – 34, based on our standardised size chart). Please also check the designer’s size charts and finished garment measurements.

Note: The size ranges have been drafted from different blocks. The 14 – 32 block has a slightly more curvy set of dimensions than the 0 – 18 block. The 14 – 32 block has a D instead of a C cup (meaning a 4″ rather than a 3″ difference between your full and high bust) and has a 1″ larger difference between the waist and hip circumference. Both size ranges are drafted for an average height of 5’5″.

Notions: Coordinating thread; 2 yd of lightweight fusible interfacing; seven (sizes 0-18) or nine (sizes 14-32) 3/8″ buttons for Views A and B; five (sizes 0-18) or six (sizes 14-32) 3/8″ buttons for Views C and D.
