DIY Puff-Sleeved Dress with an Open Back + NEW PDF Sewing Pattern

Hi everyone! In this video I’ll show you how you can sew this gorgeous, absolutely ethereal open-back dress 💙

Here are the materials you’ll need:
- 1.45-2 m or 1.6-1.9 yds of woven fabric
- Elastic 2 cm or 3.4” wide by 1 m long for the waist
- Elastic that’s .5 cm or 1/8” wide by 2 m long
- matching thread
- glasshead pins
- scissors
- measurement tape
- Eloise pattern

I chose a pretty light blue linen fabric for my dress, and I recommend a light to medium weight woven fabric such as poplin, twill, linen, modal, rayon, silky fabrics, or eyelet cotton.

You're so talented. I loved the dress 😀🌸✨

This looks great! Will be buying the pattern! Is there a link for the ruler you use when hemming?

[jordanvandervelde]

I want to turn this into my wedding dress by lengthening the skirt (and potentially a train)... but I'm being told it will be too heavy for the waistline with this pattern. Thoughts? I think I could make it stronger by not using elastic?

[MajaSkarback]

Hey! I’m interested in making this one but longer (somewhere underneath the knees). Would that be possible? If yes, what do you need to think about? It’s such a beautiful dress!

[draftsdufus]

Hey :) just a small request. Can u make a dress like this but muslim friendly ? Like with a higher neckline and covered back but still has the bow ? 💗

[juliegarilao]

Just bought your pdf and I'm excited to make this in a pink gingham for summer!
