Need extra help sewing your Betty Dress? We have a full Workshop on Stitch School, our online sewing classroom, to guide you through every step of the process. The class includes the PDF sewing pattern for the Betty Dress AND the Betty Dress Add-On Pack with lots of extra tips, tricks, and fitting advice.

This workshop is taught by the one-and-only Betty Dress queen, Lisa Comfort! Adding the Betty Dress to Stitch School just didn't seem right without her by our side, so we're pleased to have Lisa back for this special workshop.

Betty has a classic silhouette that is fitted at the bust and waist then flares out into a full circle skirt. Make the original Betty Dress without sleeves and with a beautiful boat neckline, or use the Betty Dress Add-On pack to sew up a V-neck or scoop neckline and add sleeves to make your Betty work all year round!

In the online class we cover bust adjustments, neckline adjustments and more ways to make the Betty Dress your own, all accompanied by fully captioned video lessons, illustrated instructions and additional downloadable resources.

The Sew Over It team are also sewing up their own Betty Dresses, each making different versions to show you just how versatile the Betty Dress can be. Follow along with their journey in the Betty Club vlog series on YouTube.
