McCardell’s version was floor length and made of chocolate brown taffeta with a black grosgrain belt and a black organza bow at the neck. The front was adorned with a row of rhinestone buttons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pattern offers two neck options: one for the bow tie fold and one without. You can make your dress in anything from summery cotton prints to luxurious silk or velvet, and in lengths from floor to thigh high. Bare shoulders are beautiful, but if you’re not convinced, this dress also looks great with a short bolero jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dress has a side zip and on-seam pockets and fastens with hooks and eyes at the back of the neck. The pattern also includes a pattern piece and instructions for making and tying the bow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e (available to download immediately after purchase). \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthefoldline.com%2Fhow-to-buy-sewing-patterns%2F\u0026amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C2055db73b3ff43fa6a0c08d812112ec9%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637279212288807611\u0026amp;sdata=jGOEMr6nT4ZZme5CCL3wpMxImes8GGoiMxBHviYtfeQ%3D\u0026amp;reserved=0\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop \u003c\/strong\u003e(We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these.
