Paper Pattern "Twirl Dress" – Sizes 86/92 to 170/176
Color-printed on A0 sheets
The Swirl Dress is a beautiful, flowing dress whose full circle skirt makes every twirl a special moment. It’s perfect for playful outfits, elegant looks, or sporty-casual combinations. Thanks to the various sewing options, the dress can be sewn with short sleeves, long sleeves, or sleeveless—whichever you prefer.
The sewing pattern covers sizes 86/92 through 170/176 and is suitable for both children and teens. Thanks to its comfortable fit and flexible design options, it’s the ideal dress for everyday wear and special occasions.
Contents & Format
The sewing pattern is delivered printed in color on a single A0 sheet, eliminating the need to tape individual sheets together. Additionally, the set includes detailed sewing instructions with step-by-step explanations and helpful tips for a perfect finished garment.
Special Features
The wrap dress offers many design options. It can be sewn with short or long sleeves, or alternatively, completely sleeveless. The top and skirt sections can be combined using different fabrics, allowing for creative color combinations and designs. The form-fitting top ensures a flattering fit, while the loose-fitting skirt offers plenty of freedom of movement.
Recommended Fabric
The sewing pattern is designed for stretchy fabrics such as jersey or lightweight knits. Thanks to the stretchiness of the fabrics, the dress fits comfortably and grows with you.
The sewing pattern already includes a 1-centimeter seam allowance; a 2-centimeter hem allowance is included at the hem edges of the skirt and sleeves.
Construction
For best results, we recommend sewing with a serger. Alternatively, a sewing machine with a stretch stitch can be used.
Fabric Requirements & Cutting
The dress can be sewn either entirely from one fabric or from two different fabrics for the bodice and skirt. When purchasing fabric, keep in mind that it may shrink slightly when washed.
The pattern pieces include the front and back panels, skirt panels, and sleeves in the corresponding variations. Depending on the variation chosen, additional cuff strips will be needed for the neckline and armholes.
What Else You’ll Need
In addition to the fabric, you’ll need a sewing machine or overlocker, pins or fabric clips, tailor's chalk or a marking pen, and fabric scissors or a rotary cutter. An iron helps ensure that the seams are neat and precise.
Notes
The sewing pattern is intended for personal use only. Commercial use is permitted only with a separate license. Before sewing, we recommend reading through the entire instructions carefully.
The wrap dress is suitable for both beginners and advanced sewers. Thanks to the clear instructions, the project is straightforward and yields a great result.
