VEGA DRESS • Pattern

By FRENCH PEOTRY, Vega Dress is a paper sewing pattern.

Garment Details: The Vega dress is a chic minimalist classic short dress with tailored princess seams, a front & back V-neckline, with a side zipper closure. Features a back pleat & tie.

Sizing: This is a multi-size pattern, including sizes XS-XL (2-16). Sizing guide, finished garment measurements and fabric requirements can be found here.

Fabric Suggestions: The Vega dress pattern is designed for woven fabrics such as medium to heavy crepe, silk, cotton blends, viscose or polyester. Choose a fabric that does not crease too easily as it will show quite a lot on this type of skirt. 

Trims required: Matching thread, 1m x 90cm wide interfacing – for facings. A 25cm zipper (optional)

Skill Level: The pattern is placed at a Level 2-3 out of 5, on the French Poetry pattern skill scale, which means you should be at a confident beginner to intermediate skill level. If you have already made one or more garments on your own, know how to read a pattern, what a facing is and how to sew an invisible zipper, this dress will be fairly easy to make. A step-by-step video tutorial is also available.
