Sew Over It Isla Dress

Buy the Isla Dress sewing pattern from Sew Over It. With optional yoke and shoulder frills, Isla is fun to dress up and take out to a party, but leave these off and you’ve got a gorgeous dress for a weekend break, lunch with friends, or simply looking great at the office.

Isla features a gently fitting button-up bodice with bust and waist darts. The yoke offers the chance to insert a front frill, with frills also optional on the shoulders for a very on-trend look. The set-in sleeves can be cut short, or kept full-length with a gathered, closed cuff. The panelled skirt gives a fluted, feminine feel, perfect for swishing. Isla closes with an invisible zip in the side seam, and the v-neckline is finished with a facing.
