Elsa Dress and Top PDF sewing pattern

The Elsa Dress and Top is a statement piece that balances bold design with thoughtful proportions. Its 3/4 length sleeves, featuring a dipped hemline in the back, are the heart of the design. The bodice comes in two versions: an oversized fit, which is the original, relaxed silhouette from my ready-to-wear S/S2021 collection, and a newly graded fitted bodice with a closer fit, offering a more tailored look. Both versions are shaped with darts and sit at a high waistline, with a curved waistline that mirrors the shape of the sleeves, creating a harmonious flow throughout the design. View A features a gathered, voluminous skirt with hidden inseam pockets, while View B offers a peplum variation.

Pattern difficulty
This pattern is beginner-friendly but includes a few rewarding techniques for those looking to build their skills. You’ll create sleeve cuffs, finish the neckline with bias binding, insert an invisible zipper, and make gathered tiers for the skirt. The pockets are optional.

Fabric recommendations
Elsa is designed for woven, natural fibers with some structure, such as cotton, linen, or wool. The black floral sample dress is made from a lightweight, textured jacquard polyester. Choose fabrics like lace, organza, or brocade to elevate the design and create a fun party dress.
