Vikisews Gloria Dress

Buy the Gloria Dress sewing pattern from Vikisews. Gloria is a close-fitting dress with a sweetheart neckline. The slim-fit shaping is achieved with front and back waist darts, both on the bodice and the skirt. The front also features bust darts that start at the side seams. Gloria has voluminous sleeves with gathering along the sleeve cap and at the bottom, just above the close-fitting long shirred cuffs. The shirring on the cuffs starts 2 cm away from the hemmed edge, forming a ruffle at the bottom of the sleeve. The 3/4 sleeve length can be adjusted with the shirred cuff. The dress fastens with an invisible zip in the centre back seam. Gloria is above-knee, mini length.
