Dresses
13 models in this category
Thirteen dress patterns: a sheath and a shift, fit-and-flare, trapeze, wrap, shirt dress, pinafore, smock, kaftan, a dropped-waist dress, a princess-seam dress and a coat dress. Each one is drafted from your bust, waist, hips, back length and shoulder width, so the bodice ends at your waist and the hem at the length you asked for, not at a size-chart average. Before you generate, set the length, neckline, hem shape and sleeve on the models that offer them. The shift, smock and kaftan are the quickest to sew; the princess-seam dress and the coat dress suit makers who already enjoy fitting.
About the Dresses patterns

At the sample measurements (height 176 cm, bust 96 cm, waist 78 cm, hips 102 cm) a pattern from this category has from 2 to 8 pieces. The size of every piece for your own body is computed in the creator, and each model page shows the fabric estimate for 140 cm and 110 cm wide fabric.
