Honeysuckle Dress PDF Pattern
Honeysuckle Dress
This beautiful dress has a semi-fitted bodice, unique neckline with a facing, a full skirt with four panels, and gathered 3/4 sleeves. I am thrilled to embark on this sewing journey with you, as I have already made two of these dresses myself. This pattern offers a great opportunity to work on different techniques such as gathering, creating a fitted bodice, and assembling panels for a full skirt. You also have two different skirt lengths to choose from.
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.
