Tanya’s Dress/Tunic Pattern

This is a printable PDF sewing pattern for Tanya’s Dress Design. Elegant jersey knit dress with an oversized top and fitted skirt. The design is appropriate for both slim figures and figures that are fuller in the mid-area.

You can make this dress for any season, depending on the fabric choice. It has an oversized bodice part that drapes beautifully on the body and a fitted skirt. Both the dress and the tunic version can be made with or without the cuffs. This feature gives you four different looks.

And,
you can wear it on both sides interchangeably. This pattern is designed for knitted fabric only. You can make it from jersey knits like cotton or rayon, Ponte de Roma, heavyweight knits, etc. The fabric should stretch in both directions and have at least 5% elastane.
