Square Neck Stretch Dress & Side Split
Pattern Making Tutorial

To celebrate the launch of our basic stretch dress block, we’ve just launched our first pattern making tutorial in a quite a long time! This time we had the pleasure of teaming up with Ayuk 2020 (Tanja). She’s a fabulous pattern maker who I’ve had the pleasure of working with on numerous occasions.

We asked her to come up with a bodycon style that would make full use of our latest made-to-measure basic block, the stretch dress! She added a gorgeous square neckline, side split and a playful pleated cap sleeve. This post demonstrates the first part of that tutorial, adding the square neck and side split. We’ll be releasing the cap sleeve tutorial shortly, but in the meantime, feel free to get to grips with this free pattern making tutorial.

If you want to find out more about Tanja and Ayuk 2020 then please visit her PatternLab profile page. There you will find links to all of her social channels. Enjoy!

You’ll need a digital basic torso block with waist shaping and sleeve to follow this tutorial. Check below the video to see your download options. Enjoy!
