I have a few different oversized dress patterns that each have their unique look and feel
Babydoll Dress Sewing Pattern
airy and light, the oversized baby doll dress has a short bodice with long sleeves and a gathered shirts. You can play with the proportions and pieces to create various styles of dresses and blouses! the Neckline is wide and comfy and there is no need for any zipper or fastening. super easy to make and great for beginners – as always!
Aria Dress Sewing Pattern
my absolute favorite dress, super dreamy and super easy to make, the whole magic happens around a smart bodice and gathered rectangles! All you need is 3m or yds of 60″ wide fabric!
#TRPUFFYDRESS
oversized – fun & exceptionally puffy – The Puffy Dress Sewing Pattern is a fabulous base for gathered blouses and tiered dresses with a deep V neck – the pattern comes in 2 different versions with a fixed neckline and with one that goes deeper with each size!
