Cozy Cowl Dress

We are creating a cozy cowl dress which features a generously sized cowl neckline, giving it a comfy and stylish look. The long full gathered sleeves come with cuffs and bias slit openings, adding a unique touch to the design. We also have side seam pockets, which not only add functionality but also elevate the overall look of the garment. As we work through this project, I will guide you through each step to ensure that you achieve a professional finish.

As you work on the cozy cowl dress, you'll have the opportunity to explore various pattern hacks to customize the garment to your preferences. Want to make it more of a trapeze shape for a flowy silhouette? Go for it! Prefer a more tailored fit? Adjust the pattern accordingly. You can also play around with the length of the dress, making it longer for a more formal look or shorter for a casual vibe. Additionally, you have the option to add rib knit edges to the neckline, sleeves, or hem. These pattern hacks allow you to truly make this dress your own, reflecting your unique style and personality.

With so many design options and possibilities, the cozy cowl dress offers a fantastic opportunity for you to use your creativity and sewing skills. Whether you're a beginner looking to expand your repertoire or an experienced sewist wanting to try something new, this project is perfect for all levels. By the end of this project, not only will you have a beautiful new dress to wear proudly, but you'll also have gained valuable skills and confidence in your sewing abilities. Let's get started and create a cozy cowl dress that truly speaks to your personal style!

Pattern sizing

This pattern comes in sizes XS-6X and you can find the size chart on the pattern or to the right of this description. If you need help grading the pattern from size to size be sure to check out my tutorial on that.

Printing the pattern

When it comes to printing the pattern, you have two options to choose from – the home printer version or the large format version. The home printer version is great for those who prefer the convenience of printing at home on standard size paper. Simply download the PDF file, ensure your printer settings are set to actual size, and print out the pattern. Your other option, the large format version is ideal for those who want to skip the taping of multiple sheets together. You can take the large format file to a local print shop or use an online printing service to have the pattern printed on a single large sheet. I like using PDFplotting.com.

Whichever version you choose, make sure to double-check that the scaling is correct before cutting into your fabric. Measure the test square. This will ensure that the pattern is being printed at the right size. Once you have your pattern printed, assembled (if necessary), and you are ready to start on your project.

This file is also a layered PDF so you can print just your size or print just a few sizes. You do not need to print all of the sizes.

You will get both print files with this download. The Letter/A4 version and the A0 large format version.
