Tulip Dress Pattern - Sew Different

The Pattern:

As with all Sew Different patterns, it is easy to wear AND easy to make. It is gently shaped through the bodice and comes out into a pretty bubble hem giving it the tulip shape it is named for. This bubble shape is surprisingly flattering with the hourglass effect it gives. The pattern has a shallow V-neck and a front pleat giving it extra room around the waist and allowing it to be pulled on over your head - no zip required! There are little swing sleeves that come midway down your upper arm and big pockets in the side seams. The bottom hem sits above the knee (for 5ft 8 height).
