This dress is number 10 tuck drape dress from Drape Drape book 1. I did reduce the armhole depth because the fabric I was using was narrow (it was a circular knit bolt). This is a very easy modific…
I used Colette Patterns Sorbetto tank and some of my fabric scraps to make another work dress (comfortable, simple, and not from expensive fabric). I took out the front pleat and a bit more to redu…

This version of the dahn dress is made from a woven skirt that was given to me (which is why it’s a little short!). Because of the fabric limitation, it is not cut on the bias and the result is tha…
This jersey dress is an attempt to save a garment I made that was a big fail. I had made a tank top with cutouts in the back and hated it. It sat in my crap box for a while until I decided to make …
Another version of the dahn dress – a comfortable dress out of woven fabric that goes on over the head. It is best sewn on the bias for additional stretch. This version has bias binding for an adde…
