Betty Dress Sewing Pattern

The Betty Dress is a confident beginner sewing pattern. We recommend you’ve made a couple of garments before and had a go at inserting an invisible zip.

The Betty Dress works beautifully in a variety of different fabrics, including light to medium weight cotton and cotton lawn, rayon, crepe and even lightweight wools.

Because of the nature of the circle skirt, we recommend avoiding any strong one-way directional prints.

The Betty Dress PDF sewing pattern is available in UK sizes 6-30 See the size chart below for details on fabric requirements.

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.
