Elevate your handmade wardrobe with the Carla Mini Dress, a modern, flirty silhouette designed for sewists who love timeless style with clean finishes. The dress is fully lined and bagged out on the top edge with a center back invisible zipper.
This PDF pattern features a fitted bodice, flattering princess seams, and a gently flared skirt that hits mid-thigh for the perfect mini length. Alteration lines have been added if you wish to shorten or lengthen the dress. Also, as an added optional extra, Horsehair braid can be sewn into the hem to hold its shape.
Whether you’re dressing up for a special event or creating a chic everyday piece, the Carla Mini Dress adds the perfect touch of polish. Make in floral for a cute summer dress, darker heavier fabrics for winter worn with tights and boots, and a nice coat, or even white for a hen’s or reception dress. This dress covers all occasions.
