Meet your new favourite swing dress sewing pattern, the Nancy Dress! Inspired by Lisa’s love of vintage style, Nancy is a 1960s icon with the ultimate swish factor. Cute and flattering, and with 60s style AND the comfort of a loose-fitting dress, Nancy brings the best of both worlds to your wardrobe.

The Nancy Dress is full of interesting design details with lots of new techniques to try. It is made up of unique panels which provide shaping at the bust and back of the dress. Extra shaping at the back with darts gives the dress a lovely gentle fit. She has three quarter-length sleeves, and a bias-bound neckline with the option of two different neckline shapes: a high neck or a slight scoop. There are no zips or buttons – the dress is pulled on and off over your head, closing with a hook and eye.

A lovely dress to take you from day to night, Nancy makes a casual weekend winner as well as the perfect understated party dress. Dress up with heels and a cropped jacket, or down with ankle boots and a big scarf; either way you’ll look fabulous! Nancy looks great with black tights in chilly weather or bare legs when the sun comes out! We think she’d make a great festival dress. You can really have fun with the styling with this one.

Sewing Level

The Nancy Dress is an Intermediate sewing pattern.

Nancy is a swing dress sewing pattern, which means she’s loose-fitting in design. This makes for easy fitting, so you really have chance to master the fabric with this project.

Fabric Suggestions

For the Nancy Dress we recommend lightweight woven fabrics with lots of drape, such as rayon, viscose and lightweight crepe. With minimal seams, Nancy is perfect for those big bold prints, but is equally lovely in a plain fabric for a contemporary look.

What is a PDF pattern?

A PDF pattern is a downloadable pattern that you print yourself at home on A4 or US letter paper.

Choose to add on A0 printing and we will print the pattern on our A0 printers and post it to you so all you need to access digitally is the instruction booklet.

If you're using the A4 or US letter options, simply download, print at home, tape together and let the sewing begin! When you print the pattern, print at 100% (you might have to uncheck the scale box). Print page 1 first, the square should measure 10cm x 10cm.
