Sew a dress you're actually excited to wear!

 Avoid very thick fabrics, as the panels should lie nicely and follow the body.

Same pattern. Completely different dresses.

 The Alexandria Panel Dress gives you a strong starting point, but you decide the expression.

 Sew it:

•  classic and toned down in neutral colors
•  with contrast stitching on the panels for a more graphic look
•  in light fabrics for summer
•  or in heavier qualities for autumn and winter

 You can play with:

•  color combinations in the panels
•  fabric choice and structure
•  length and slope

 This isn't just a dress you sew once. It's a pattern you can use over and over again, and get a completely new result every time.

Is this difficult?
It's a little more advanced than very simple projects, but we'll guide you through the most important things.

Do I need a lot of experience?
It's nice if you've sewn clothes before.

Do I need an overlocker?
No, a regular sewing machine will do if you don't have an overlock machine.

What if I get stuck?
You can get help and guidance in Systerhood.
