Sew a vintage-inspired tea dress with the Lea Dress PDF Sewing Pattern, now in sizes UK 6-30!

The Lea Dress was inspired by a dress worn by Lea Seydoux in the James Bond film Spectre, and we originally released it with Issue 2 of the Lisa Comfort Magazine.

With a 1940s design that also resonates with a classic 1990s style, Lea is a button-up tea dress that never goes out of style.

The dress features a V-neck bodice fitted with waist darts on the front and back and a panelled skirt that drapes gently around the hips and is made for twirling. Lea also includes optional in-seam pockets, for those of us who can't live without them!

The short sleeves are finished with turn ups, and the dress is fastened with buttons all the way down the front.

Lea is perfect for spring and summer, she is easy to wear and looks beautiful in a print (florals especially) and classic in a plain colour. Pick a fabric with plenty of drape, like a viscose or a crepe, to make the most of the swishy skirt.

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.
