Wiggle Dress

Rated 4.93 out of 5 based on 15 customer ratings
(15 customer reviews)

$10.00

This is a PDF sewing pattern and tutorial to teach you how to create these garments. THIS IS NOT A FINISHED PRODUCT.

This classic, tight fit pencil dress can be an everyday dress in a more casual knit, or a real show stopper in the floor length and a structured knit!  It is drafted for a more stable knit like ponte roma, stretch velvet, stretch lace, liverpool, but you can also use a more casual double brushed polyester, thicker sweater knit, or a spandex blend french terry.

It has a center seam along the back from a close fit along your curves.  Some lengths include a kick pleat for walking ease.  You can put in a zipper to make it easier to get on and off or leave it off and wiggle in and out of it 😉 .  The traditional set in sleeves and off the shoulder both come with short sleeve, half sleeve, 3/4 sleeve and long sleeve to make sure you can sew it up for all seasons.  Lengths include a crop at natural waistline, top at full hip, just above knee, just below knee, midi/calf length and the stunning floor length that has a mermaid flare at the bottom for such a flattering silhouette.

The neckline is a classic boatneck with the option of a high back or a scoop back.  The off the shoulder has it’s own glamorous neckline cutting across for a dramatic look.

Whether you’re wearing it for running errands in a more casual knit or pulled out all the stops and do a formal you will feel sexy in this tight fit dress!

    I have made this dress and really like it. Wondering if I can keep the back bodice as one piece and it not effect the fit????? I am not doing a zipper and it is one less seam and I prefer only having side seams.

      The center back seam gives shape along the back- so you will loose that if you take that seaming out.

    This pattern is perfection. Fit me perfectly without alteration. My only suggestion would be to shift the instructions for the kick pleat to the end, so that you can judge the hem length with the finished dress.
