Victory Patterns Jackie Dress

Buy the Jackie Dress sewing pattern from Victory Patterns. Jackie is an elegant, easy to wear, super comfortable knit dress that slips perfectly from day into night. It features a built-up neckline and shapely seams that lengthen and emphasise your curves. The dress is fitted at the waist with a full, flowing skirt. A subtle opening at the back upper bodice closes at the neckline with three small buttons and rouleau loops. This project uses both a serger and a sewing machine. You can also make it with just a sewing machine.

Version 1 has long sleeves and falls just below mid-calf, approximately 32 1/2" (82.5 cm) down from the natural waist.

Version 2 is sleeveless and falls just below the knee, approximately 26 1/2" (67.3 cm) down from the natural waist.
