Low in-store inventory, may be subject to change.

The Softly Pleated Dress is a feminine and figure flattering style that gives a nice waistline illusion - or "essence of waist" - and hides any hip and tummy "scallops". This style is a lesson in proportion - the dress looks great on a wide variety of figures when the waistline, soft pleats and skirt width are in the proper places - and Pamela's Patterns will show you how it's accomplished! The neckline features a choice of high scoop or square styles. Multiple sleeve options, including cap, three quarter, long and ruched make this dress seasonless. Made from a knit fabric, it is easy and fast to construct on a sewing machine or serger.

Suggested Fabrics: Good quality knit fabric including polyester, rayon, or wool blends with lycra. Fabric types include ITY, ponte, sweater knit and jersey.

Fabric required: 2.33 yd of 60" Wide

Notions: Good quality polyester thread, Knit Stay Tape (neckline & waistline), Woven Stay Tape (shoulders), Double Sided Fusible Stay Tape (Hem), 8" piece of Fantastic Elastic (ruched sleeve optional)
