    Description

    The City Dress Sewing Pattern is modern, uncomplicated and wonderfully wearable - the kind of piece you’ll reach for again and again. With its gently A-line shape, above-the-knee length and clever seam detailing, it feels clean and contemporary while still being easy to style.

    Choose between two versatile views. View A features elbow-length wide sleeves and a flattering notched neckline for an effortless everyday look. View B is sleeveless with a deeper V-neckline, perfect for warmer days or layering over a tee or fine knit as the seasons shift. Both versions offer subtle structure through decorative seamlines, giving the dress a polished finish without feeling overworked.

    The City Dress works beautifully in light to mid-weight woven fabrics. Think denim for a modern utility feel, linen for relaxed summer ease, cotton twill or chambray for everyday wear, or a viscose-linen blend for softness and drape. Seersucker adds lovely texture and dimension.

    Suggested Fabrics: Light to mid-weight woven fabrics including denim, cotton twill, linen, chambray, viscose-linen blends and seersucker.

    Fabric Requirements:
    140cm wide fabric
    View A (with sleeves): 1.5–2m 
    View B (sleeveless): 1.4–1.75m 

    You will need:
    • Sewing thread
    • 0.5m of 90cm wide interfacing

    Sizing: EU 30–54 / US 0–24 (approx. UK 6–24). Please refer to the designer’s size chart and finished garment measurements before selecting your size.

    Ability: Easy / Confident Beginner
