Darling Dress

This is a PDF sewing pattern and tutorial to teach you how to create these garments. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING IN THE MAIL.

The Darling Dress pattern combines trendy and classic features for the perfect wardrobe staple. Featuring a sweetheart neckline with gathering along the bust and a bodice ending at the natural waist it gives a retro feel, while drafted for soft stretch knit fabrics make sure you’re comfortable while wearing it.  You can choose from straps for a tank/sleeveless look that you can keep plain or add straps bows for an extra cute detail.  The short sleeve option is an adorable gathered puff sleeve and the long sleeve is also gathered into a beautiful bishop style.  The skirt can be a paneled skirt with slit or a solid skirt.  You can choose from a lower slit or a higher slit to show off more thigh.  Pick a cute mini, above knee or below knee skirt length.  The bodice is a tight fit through waist with a skirt that floats away slightly at the hip in a lovely silhouette.
