Description
Description
The Alessia Dress is an effortlessly wearable design that combines comfort, style and versatility in one beautifully simple garment. Designed with a clean, modern silhouette, it features a softly fitted bodice with a shirred back panel that provides shape and flexibility without the need for zips or complicated fastenings. Choose between wide or narrow straps to create your preferred look, making Alessia a pattern you'll return to again and again throughout the warmer months.
With its easy fit, gathered skirt and practical inseam pockets, Alessia is perfect for everyday dressing, holidays and relaxed summer occasions. The adaptable design works beautifully in a wide range of lightweight woven fabrics, allowing you to create anything from a casual daytime dress to something a little more special. Many of the garments displayed throughout the Ciao Patterns collection have been made using Fabrics by Hilary, showcasing how beautifully this design works in quality Italian linens and dressmaking fabrics.
Ciao Patterns are designed with clarity in mind. Each size is colour coded for easy tracing, while unique line styles ensure sizes remain easy to distinguish when printed in black and white.
