The Charlotte Dress is the ultimate in elegance. Stylish and flattering on so many shapes, Charlotte is a day-to-evening dress, gorgeous for those special occasions. Featuring a relaxed, comfy fit, Charlotte has a contemporary feel but with her lovely collar, v-neck faux wrap and pretty hourglass shape, she offers a nod to the elegance of the past.

The Charlotte Dress is a pleated dress with a faux wrap-over front, a waistband, lapel collar and grown on sleeves. It closes at the centre back with an invisible zip. Designed with lots of style-ease for a comfortable fit, the dress comes with a fabric belt to cinch it in at the waist, held in place with belt loops. Oh and don’t let us forget the best feature – roomy pockets!

Designed with intermediate stitchers in mind, this is a techniques-filled pattern with lots to learn. Create a beautiful finish inside and out with a self-lined waistband, cleverly-crafted collar and a new method for inserting pockets. Charlotte can look completely different depending on fabric choice, so no matter what occasion you have coming up, this pattern has you covered.

Sewing Level

The Charlotte dress is an Intermediate sewing pattern.

Fabric Suggestions

To ensure the fabric will be able to hold the pleats and the collar, Charlotte is best made in a medium weight woven fabric with drape, such as medium weight crepe, lightweight wool, linen, or a linen viscose mix. We recommend the fabric has some body, and suggest avoiding lightweight fabrics such as rayon challis, georgette and silk. Charlotte looks completely different made in a patterned fabric versus a solid colour, so there’s lots of fun to be had when designing your dress.
