PDF Tie Dress Pattern - Sewing Therapy

Excellent Pattern

This Tie Dress pattern is clear and easy-to-follow, especially with the help of the YouTube tutorial. I love the simple yet elegant design of this dress; it was very fun to make! I have just finished it, but I’m deciding if I want to make some changes and tweaks to make it more flattering for my body type. Regardless, I would still highly recommend this pattern to anyone!

Summer comfort in double gauze

The Tie Dress video is so helpful in learning this pattern! And I recommend watching the video on the pattern page (at the end of the photos) because the designer talks about how this is an oversized pattern with a lot of ease and you need to know your body type and how different styles look on you. I think this pattern works best when you have a defined waist to cinch. I love the ingenious technique to sew the bodice neck - which gives a flawless finish. Using a light drapey fabric like double gauze makes this dress perfect for hot summer days. I'm 5'9" and I added 6" to the skirt pattern because I like dresses mid-calf.

Great dress, easy to sew!

I just finished my first tie dress and will certainly be making another at some point! The pattern was easy to follow and the accompanying video tutorial was SO helpful for the few times I wasn’t sure what to do. I’ll definitely be recommending to any sewists I know!
