Rhea Dress PDF Pattern | Gathered Waist Midi Dress | V neck

The Rhea Dress is an effortlessly stylish, v-neck dress with a semi-fitted bodice and loose waist and hips for maximum comfort. The dress will stand out in your wardrobe as it has a gathered waist detail that flares out to a gorgeous ruffled hem. This sewing pattern is perfect for beginners as the dress is a slip-on style that has no tricky fastenings.

When designing this pattern, I wanted this dress to feel effortlessly stylish and easy to wear. This dress is a dream to sew with a gorgeous cotton, but will look incredible in any light/medium weight woven non-stretch fabric such as Satin, Cotton Poplin, Rayon/Viscose, Crepe, and Chiffon. The skirt of this dress is not lined, so you will need to make sure the fabric is not too see-through, alternatively you could line the skirt too.

Print pattern 100% to scale and it will fit on A4 and US Letter sized paper. There is also an A0 sized pattern included for you to print out at a printers full size.

This sewing pattern is designed for a looser fit, so when choosing sizes go by your bust measurement. Please message me if you have any questions.

For all sizes, you will need 2-2.5 metres of fabric to make this dress, depending if you want any spare fabric to practise on and between 1/2or 3/4 of a metre for lining. The majority of pattern pieces is cut on the fold, so it is advised to use a fabric that has a width of 50" or more.
