The Prescott Dress

This post is part of a month long series called 'Pattern Makeover Month.' I took a simple pattern (The Sweet Dress by Leila and Ben) and 'made-it-over' into many different styles. For more information, go here.

One of the fabulous parts of having a PDF pattern is that you can print the pattern as many times as you want!

For this dress, print yourself an extra dress pattern. Cut to the size you want.

Then chop it!

I did varying lengths until just a couple inches below the underarm seam. Mark your pattern pieces with numbers so that you know what order to put them back together in.

Use your cut pieces to cut out the fabric. You will want to add a seam allowance on each piece, where you cut. The hem and neckline do not need an extra seam allowance.

Sew the pieces together from the bottom to the top. Iron the finished seams and topstitch.

Now finish the dress as instructed.

How many different versions can you make? The possibilities are endless!

P.S. Yes, I do have an iron. . . I just prefer not to use it!
