Itch to Stitch Davina Dress

Buy the Davina Dress sewing pattern from Itch to Stitch. You can’t help but feel pretty and elegant in this dress with its curved v-neckline, slightly gathered front, and feminine half-circle skirt. The waistband is designed to sit high for a short waist/long leg look. The optional slash pockets add interest yet are also practical. The pattern includes five sleeve options (sleeveless, short sleeve, medium-short sleeve, three-quarter sleeve and long sleeve) to take you from summer into autumn. Above all, because it uses knit fabric, the Davina Dress is super comfortable!

Suggested fabrics: Use light to medium-light weight knit fabric with at least 75% four-way stretch. Jersey, matte jersey, interlock and very lightweight french terry are great choices. If you use fabric with less stretch, you may choose a larger size. Conversely, if you use fabric with more stretch, you may choose a smaller size. The same fabric is used to line the bodice. However, if your knit fabric is on the heavier side, you may choose to line the bodice with a lighter weight knit fabric. Jersey and tricot are great choices.
