Design
The mini dress sewing pattern for the dress with cowl neckline and spaghetti straps The Delilah Dress is probably the most fun dress to sew ever! Because for the entire mini dress you only have to sew 9 seams and you can do that (including cutting time) in under 3 hours. What are you waiting for? Get to the sewing machine and learn how easy it is to sew a mini dress. It’s best to choose a flowy fabric, such as viscose, because this is when the cowl neck, which is also very easy to sew, drapes most beautifully. The Delilah Dress is also available in a dress sewing kit.
You want the perfect fit?
There is nothing more frustrating than when a homemade garment ends up fitting poorly. That’s over now! Because when you take the time to sew a garment yourself, you deserve it to be perfect. That’s why our sewing patterns are now also available “Customized to your measurements”. How does it work? Order the option “Customized to your measurements”, measure yourself according to our instructions and enter your current measurements in our form. Our designers then construct your individual pattern. You will receive it within 1 to maximum 2 weeks after filling out the form as paper pattern or digital pattern by email and can start sewing without fear that your garment will not fit in the end as expected.
