Christine Haynes Emery Dress

Buy the Emery Dress sewing pattern from Christine Haynes. The Emery Dress is a classic "fit and flare" design with a fitted bodice and full skirt. The fully-lined bodice is shaped with darts at the bust, waist, and back of the neck, and closes with an invisible zipper up the centre back seam. The knee-length gathered skirt features in-seam pockets that are sewn into the waist seam to stay in place, and a 1 1/2" hem. Choose either View A with short set-in sleeves and an optional flat vintage-inspired bow at the centre waist, or View B with 3/4-length set-in sleeves.
