Cutie Dress
This dress pattern was inspired by the spirit of Valentine's Day to create a cute little dress that is perfect for the occasion. Whether you're planning a romantic date night or just want to embrace the love-filled holiday, this dress will surely make you stand out. We will explore different pattern hacks that you can incorporate to customize the dress to your liking. I can't wait to see what unique creations you come up with!
This dress has a fitted bodice with a ogee neckline. The bodice has 2 bust darts and a underbust band for a contoured fit. The same style lines also carry over to the back of the design. There are fitted sleeves with a color band at the bottom to match the waist and the skirt hem. The skirt of the dress is gathered at the sides and is flat at the front for a flattering amount of volume.
Pattern sizing
This pattern comes in sizes 0-38 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.
