Buy the Elsa Dress and Top sewing pattern from Silversaga Patterns. Elsa is a statement piece that balances bold design with thoughtful proportions. Its 3/4 length sleeves, featuring a dipped hemline, are the heart of the design. The pattern includes two bodice fits: an oversized fit, which is the original relaxed silhouette, and a newly graded fitted bodice offering a more tailored look. Both versions are shaped with darts and sit at a high waistline. The curve of the waistline mirrors the shape of the sleeves, creating a harmonious flow throughout the design. 

View A features a gathered, voluminous skirt with hidden in-seam pockets. View B is a peplum top. Choose fabrics like lace, organza or brocade to elevate the design, or opt for soft natural fibres like cotton, linen or wool for a timeless everyday classic.

Note: This pattern first appeared in TAUKO Magazine Issue No. 11. This new version has updated grading, a new bodice option, and more detailed beginner-friendly instructions.

Sewing level: Confident beginner
