Puff and Pencil Ruffle Dress & Big T Sleeve

Buy the Ruffle Dress & Big T Sleeve sewing pattern bundle from Puff and Pencil. This bundle includes two separate patterns – the Ruffle Blouse and the Big T Sleeve – which work in combination to make a short sleeve dress.

The Ruffle Dress is a loose-fitting mini dress with a wide gathered hem ruffle. The dress features a round neckline with a keyhole opening and ties at the back. It is unlined and can be made sleeveless or with the Big T Sleeve. The dress pattern is also available separately here.

The Big T Sleeve features a wide T-shirt fit and a cuff detail which is sewn on and folded inward for a crisp edge.

Suggested fabrics: 

Ruffle Dress: This pattern is designed for woven fabrics. It is recommended to avoid fabrics that are very heavy and stiff. Fabrics such as poplin, woven viscose, linen, lightweight denim, lightweight wool, seersucker, cotton satin, jacquard, and cotton twill all work well.

Big T Sleeve: This pattern is designed for woven fabrics. If you desire a crisp look, opt for a fabric that has some structure and does not drape too softly. For a more elegant and feminine look, choose a fabric that drapes beautifully. Fabrics such as poplin, viscose, canvas, linen, denim, lightweight wool, and twill all work well.
