Sew your own fabulous and comfy tie front dress with this free knit dress pattern from Core Fabrics! Designed for stretch fabrics and available in sizes XXS–6X, this pattern gives you options! Choose between a trendy midi length with side slits or a playful short mid-thigh version. The built-in waist tie adds a modern, flattering touch. It’s cleverly integrated into the front bodice, so you won’t need any extra sewing! Designed with negative ease, this dress is perfect for midweight knits that deliver at least 50% crosswise stretch and reliable recovery for a flattering fit. Think bamboo jersey, modal, or cotton spandex blends. Because the bodice is not cut on grain, stick to solids or non-directional prints for best results. And don’t worry if you don’t have a serger! You can totally sew this dress on a regular machine with a zigzag stitch. Add a professional touch with a double needle hem!
