Sew Different - Eclipse Dress - UK Size 8-26 Dressmaking Pattern

Our paper patterns are printed on high quality paper that can be used many times over. We use coloured grade lines for easier size identification.

The Eclipse Dress is a loose-fitting delicate bubble shape with a diagonal style line that wraps around the dress. There is an oversized patch pocket with a secret second pocket hidden inside. There is a softly curved scoop hem that drops down at the back and is finished with bias binding. You have the option of sleeveless or with elbow length sleeves with a chunky foldback. There are lengthen / shorten lines to allow you to adjust to above the knee or to suit your taste. The Eclipse Dress goes on over the head with no need for a zip.
