Buy the Daphne Maxi Dress sewing pattern from Sewing Patterns by Masin. Inspired by the glamorous Regency dresses in the Netflix series Bridgerton, Daphne has a high empire waistline, is fitted over the bust, and features short puff sleeves and a long flowy skirt. This pattern is perfect for pattern hacking, as you can easily exchange the puff sleeves for straps or lengthen the puff sleeves to ¾ sleeves. It is also very easy to shorten the skirt to a midi or mini length or even to a peplum for a top. The options are endless.

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

Note: To save paper, the pattern does not include pieces for the front and back skirt (simple rectangles). Instructions are provided for drawing the pieces directly onto your fabric.

Suggested fabrics: Light to midweight woven fabrics such as cotton, linen, viscose, silk.

Fabric requirements: If you work with patterned fabric, you might need more fabric to pattern match.

Main: 140 cm (55") wide fabric: 2.15 - 2.9 m (2.35 - 3.2 yd).

Lining: 140 cm (55") wide fabric: 0.65 m (0.7 yd).

Sizing: A – J with A/B/C, D/E/F and G/H/I cups (approx. UK 8 – 28, based on our standardised size chart). Please also check the designer’s size chart and finished garment measurements.

A note from the designer about bust cup options: Measure your bust and your underbust. The difference between the two numbers will tell which size is best suited for you (see chart in image gallery). If you are between cup sizes, the designer recommends sizing down as there is an elasticated panel at the back of the dress.

This pattern was drafted for a height of 160 – 170 cm (5'2" - 5'6").

So glamorous and unusual

I made this for a wedding, I found the cloth (cotton sateen curtains!) in a second hand shop.

I liked the fact that I could adapt the skirt to my length easily without having to chop up pattern pieces.

It has pockets!

When it came to bagging out the bodice I was a bit scared but it told me to trust the process so I did and it turned out lovely.

I aim to make another one in a lighter summery cloth when I have the time.

Stunning Maxi

I was part of the testing group for this dress, and as soon as I saw the pattern I knew I had the perfect fabric stashed away.

I used this stunning viscose crepe from Fabric Godmother, it worked with the pattern so well.

This pattern is excellent, as you only have to print out the bodice and sleeve pattern pieces and then you're given measurements for the skirt panels. I love this as when I print myself I hate wasting paper.

This had quite a few techniques I usually avoid, but as I was testing I was pushed to do them which I really enjoyed.

 

Although I love the dress I’ve made, I do feel quite dressed up in it. I’m going to make on in a more casual fabric like linen or cotton, I am interested to see what a shorter version looks like.
