SANDEEP DRESS & SKIRT • Pattern

By By Hand London, Sandeep Dress & Skirt is a paper sewing pattern.

Garment Details: Sandeep has a close fitting bodice with V-shaped darts, raglan flutter sleeves and a square faced neckline. Two asymmetric circle skirts are joined to a straight under skirt at the waist and mid thigh for the twirliest, swirliest experience you ever did sew! Option to make the skirt as a separate. 

Sizing: This is a multi-size sewing pattern from B Cup UK 2-24 / US 00-20 and D Cup UK 16-38 / US 12-34*.

*Please note - dressmaker's cup sizes have absolutely nothing in common with bra sizes! Dressmaker's cup sizes relate to the ratio between your high bust and full bust measurements, whereas your bra size relates to the ratio between your full bust and under bust measurements. A dressmaker's B cup indicates that the full bust that is 2" larger than the high bust, while a dressmaker's D cup indicates that the full bust that is 4" larger than the high bust.

Sizing & finished garment measurements can be found here and fabric requirements guide can be found here. 

Fabric Suggestions:  Light - medium weight wovens are best for Sandeep, and we hope you’ll see that the design of this dress is an invitation to crack out something special! Tencel twill, viscose rayon, broderie Anglaise, a wide range of silks and even linen blends will work well.

For the samples, a sandy lyocell twill and a black floral viscose from Sister Mintaka, and a purple deadstock crepe from New Craft House were used.

Trims required: Matching thread, lightweight woven fusible interfacing, 16-18" invisible zipper, Hook & eyes

Seam allowances are included in the pattern.
