Whatever your day has in store, this frock is designed to deliver! Combining flattering short sleeves with a trapeze style body, this dress has been cut from a relaxed and drapey rayon that packs a punch with florals. In just eight steps, you’ll have cracked concealed zips, inserting sleeves and picture-perfect hems. What’s not to love?
1 Download and print the pattern from sewmag.co.uk, then follow the cutting guide. Neaten the shoulder seam edges on the front and back pieces. Match, pin and stitch together, right sides facing, then press the seams open. Fold and press in 1cm on either side of the neck bias strip. Open one side of the strip and position it around the neckline. Pin in place, then sew along the fold line.
2 Fold the strip onto the wrong side of the neckline and position the remaining folded edge over the stitching line. Pin and edgestitch in place, sandwiching the raw edge of the neckline inside the bias binding; this process can also be completed by hand slip-stitching. Trim away any excess binding at the centre back edges, then neaten them and the side edges.
