The Willow Dress PDF Pattern

I love working with Jen from One Thimble so when I had the opportunity to work with her again I absolutely jumped at the chance!

I have had the idea of the Willow Dress floating around for awhile and even though I was in the middle of working on the Violet Dress (I generally like to finish one pattern before starting a new one) I pitched the idea to Jen and she liked it so all of a sudden I was working on two patterns at once!  Ahhh, nothing like a bit of pressure to get the adrenaine pumping – ha!

Bodice fabric available here.

Using a knit fabric for the bodice, the top section features a ruffle through the shoulder and around the armhole with a binding finish on the neckline and armhole.  The skirt section is simply a woven fabric with an elastic waist attached to the bottom of the knit bodice.

My pattern testing group did a fabulous job with their versions of the Willow Dress.

Carly from Miss Edee Designs even added a tulle over lay for the skirt – stunning!

While we were in the testing phase, it was suggested that long sleeves would make this a more year round dress so long sleeves were added, which I am really happy we included them.
