Artista Dress Pattern - Sew Different

The Pattern:

The Artista Dress is a loose fitting A-line shift dress. It has large pockets integrated into the seams of the front panels, gently dropped shoulders with inset sleeves and a back pleat for plenty of comfort across the shoulders. The softly rolled collar is reminiscent of an artist’s smock and it pulls on over the head with no need for a zip.

There are two options for the cutting layout – one with the fabric all running in the same direction, and the other, as shown on the front cover, with the yoke and lower panel cut at 90 degrees for an interesting change of direction – perfect for a stripe or directional patterned fabric.

Suggested Fabrics:

Denim, Cotton, Corduroy, Linen, Stable Jerseys (inc double knits & scuba), most other medium weight fabrics.

Fabric Quantities:

Fabric cut across the grain in some panels, as shown on front cover:

Fabric 150cm / 60” WIDE = 2.75m required

Fabric 112cm / 45” WIDE = 2.75m required

Fabric cut along the grain (all in the same direction):

Fabric 150cm / 60” WIDE = 2.5m required

Fabric 112cm / 45” WIDE = 3.75m required
