Sewn in a soft blush pink linen, this six-step dress oozes femininity with delicate bust darts, a bold notch neckline and flattering three-quarter sleeves. You could also switch it up in rich blue denim hues, or a cool lightweight chambray for a refreshing twist on a classic shift.

    1 Download the template at sewmag.co.uk, then print out and follow the cutting guide. Make the darts by following the markings on the pattern, then join the lower centre back seam to the notch and neaten the raw edges. Carefully apply the zip to the centre back opening.

    2 Join the front and back at the shoulder seam, right sides together. Prepare the neck facing, right sides together, then pair the front and back neck facings at the shoulder seam. Neaten the raw inner edge of the facing; you can overlock this or turn a narrow 5mm hem and stitch.
