Get ready for party season with the gorgeous Hettie Dress PDF Sewing Pattern!

The Hettie Dress is a trapeze style dress fitted at the shoulders and bust with a loose fit over the waist and hips. Fabulous, quick and easy to sew, she's made for twirling and is super comfortable to wear - everything you want in a party dress!

Hettie features a V-neckline and a big pleat at the centre front that creates shaping over the bust. Ties are sewn into the side seams under the bust to allow you to cinch everything in at the back for a more defined shape. The hem hits just above the knee and the pattern includes optional in-seam pockets.

Choose between two sleeve lengths: 3/4 or full-length. Both are finished with wide elastic at the hem creating a cuff effect. There are no closures and the neckline is finished neatly with a facing.

The Hettie Dress was made to really show off a special fabric and will work in most wovens: use a viscose or crepe for a softer look, choose a cotton for more structure or something extra special like a brocade or a woven velvet to make a real statement!

Sewing Level

The Hettie Dress pattern is aimed at Confident Beginners.

Fabric Suggestions

Hettie can be sewn in a wide range of woven fabrics. Choose a structured brocade or jacquard for lots of volume and structure, a crepe or viscose for a softer look. Cotton will provide some structure but still a soft drape and is the ideal choice for beginners.

Huge thanks to Sister Mintaka who provided us with the Hidden Tigers Viscose fabric we used for Emily's sample!

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.
