The Delft Dress is a unique, fun, and confident beginner-friendly sewing pattern. This pattern has darts, a bias bound rounded square neckline, puff short sleeves, a curved waistband, scalloped gathered skirt tiers, pockets, and a wide hem. Delft is not a form-fitted dress, but is full of generous ease, perfect for twirling.

The curved waistband in back allows for comfort and a loose fit around the waist, and hips. The skirt length falls just below the knee, but can easily be adjusted to suit your preference.

This pattern requires between 4 - 6 yds/meters of woven fabric depending on the size and view you choose.
Light weight wovens are recommended for this pattern. Structured fabrics, will work the best. Some possible wovens could include cotton poplin, linen, lawn, chambrey, cotton lawn, cotton. Drapey fabrics such as silk, viscose or rayon are also lovely, but may increase the difficulty level to intermediate.

This CONFIDENT BEGINNER sewing pattern has BEGINNER FRIENDLY sewing instructions and illustrations that make construction easy to follow. Beginner Sewists will learn skills such as bias binding, gathering, pockets, and lining up seams.

Pink Poplin: Lightweight Cotton Poplin from Matchy Matchy Sewing Club
Linen Waffle: Light Weight Natural Waffle linen from The Linen Lab
Cotton Seersucker: Printed on Cotton from Spoonflower, now available in linen from The Linen Lab

This is a lovely pattern, and the tutorial on youtube as well as the written one are super instructive. I also ADORE that it is available as a projector pattern also! Having to print a4 and "building" the pattern on paper first has always been a further obstacle to a project completion... but the projector option lets you a) save paper and b) speed things up!

I loved sewing this unique dress!

Beautiful pattern, very well thought out. Instructions are clear and understandable even for beginners. Sizes are exact, the measurements for the finished garment is really helpful and I recommend to size down when in doubt. Downside: The dress is a nightmare to iron (I used cotton Damask). But worth it.
