Raida is an Intermediate sewing pattern due to the many steps involved in making it. However, a patient beginner could make it! It includes techniques such as: gathering, pin-tucks, binding, buttons, buttonholes, attaching a collar, stitching in the ditch—and for view C—ruching.

This pattern requires between 3-7 yds of woven fabric depending on the size, length and view you choose. (see chart for details)
The Raida Dress pattern is designed for light to mid-weight woven fabrics. Choose a fabric (2 to 5 oz/yd) such as a linen, cotton lawn, cotton poplin, cotton sateen, lyocell, shirtings, viscose crepe, or viscose-linen-noil. Please note that heavier weighted fabrics will make view C more difficult to gather. This pattern is perfect for old bed sheets.

Buttons: View A (10-12 buttons) 1/2"(1.3cm) or smaller
