Nina Lee Alameda Slip Dress and Skirt

Buy the Alameda Slip Dress and Skirt sewing pattern from Nina Lee. The Alameda Slip Dress and Skirt is a bias-cut slinky sensation. The dress has a nipped-in waist seam (with an optional side seam zip) to lend definition, whilst the skirt features an elasticated waistband. Choose between two skirt lengths: below-the-knee or midi above-the-ankle. Sophistication and elegance meet comfort and ease in this deceptively simple pattern.
