I am so in love with this pattern!
Considering that deep v dresses have been very popular amongst the sewing community I am reasonably shocked that this pattern doesn’t get made more.
I can somehow understand that it looks pretty intimidating but, if I’m totally honest, the trickiest thing about making this dress was cutting it out. Big slippery pieces are a bit of a headache to handle so I took it VERY slowly (part of the reason that I didn’t get to finish it during the sewing weekender, another part was temporarily single parenting two toddlers).
The construction is pretty unusual with the entire bodice and sleeves being constructed from a single piece of fabric, underlined around the bust for modesty. The instructions are very clear and I cannot find a fault in this pattern.
I probably could have done rolled hem on my coverlock but I was too lazy to re-thread and I cannot say I regret anything.
Don’t shy away from this pattern. It’s a good one!
This dress came into being from a snarky comment I left on Instagram after The Fold Line posted a photo of this pattern, which then got read by Kate on one of her vlogs. Several weeks later, I now have my perfect outfit for drinking martinis while being a mysteriously wealthy widow.
I cut a size Large, as I wanted the drama of lots of volume and I have a large waist relative to my bust/hip. Constructing the dress was not too difficult, however the fabric choice made it harder than it probably would have been if I hadn't been using chiffon. There are not very many pattern pieces, and the top portion is actually cut as one large piece. Of note, the pattern pieces are HUGE - they took up most of the floor in my tiny apartment - so something to keep in mind if you don't have a very large cutting mat. There is a place marked to shorten the bodice if needed - I shortened the bodice ~1 inch and could have done another inch or so. I omitted the lining to achieve the floaty look I was going for, so I cannot comment on that part of the construction.
Fantastic pattern if you need a dramatic gown that is 80% sleeve and/or if you will be haunting any mansions and need appropriate ghostly attire.
