Simple Shirred Dress sewing pattern

Shirred dresses are currently a huge fashion trend and they are so easy to sew.  They are also very comfortable to wear.

This is our pattern for a simple dress with shirred detail on the front and back bodice pieces.  Plain straps complete the dress.

This pattern is one size and suitable for up to size 22.

Although the photos show a maxi length dress, this pattern can also be used to create a top or shorter dress.

The sample of this dress shown in our photos is on display in our shop in Bourne for closer inspection.  We are delighted to be able to offer the pattern to all of our customers.
