Learn to make your first dress! Versatile, fun and fabulous, the Grace Dress will take you from season to season in style. Both your best Christmas party outfit and the perfect summer dress all in one, learn loads of new techniques as you create your new wardrobe staple.

The Grace Dress sewing pattern has a semi-fitted, darted bodice with scooped neckline with optional cap sleeves, a gathered skirt with in-seam pockets and an invisible zip in the centre back seam. Adding the waist tie will give you a fitted silhouette – but still leaves you with the option to loosen it should you have a big dinner on the cards! There is also the option to add a pretty cap sleeve.

There are loads of options to choose between with the Grace Dress pattern. Make it in one fabric or colour block it with a contrast bodice and hem band.
