Lizz Dress D Cup

Lizz Dress D Cup pattern by By Hand London

One pattern, two very different dresses, and infinite hackability! At her core, Lizz is a basic darted bodice with generous ease, a high waist, simple sleeves and the perfect scoop neckline. Throw in a fabulously full circle skirt with an inverted V waist, a multi-tier gathered skirt, a neckline ruffle AND a waistline flounce, and you’ve got all your favourite future dresses in one handy pattern!

Fabric Suggestions:

Lightweight wovens are the way to go, but the substrate-weave combination you choose will give you dramatically different effects. For drape and schwing opt for viscose challis, crepe, silk twill, tencel etc. For a softer dress go for naturals like enzyme washed linen and brushed cotton. Or crank it up a notch and try things like sheer organza and velvet!

Notions:

• Matching thread
• 16"-18" invisible zipper
• A few hooks and eyes
• Tracing paper (optional; to keep your pattern tissue intact!)
• Your usual tools & sewing supplies

Sizing:

Multi-sized UK sizes 16-38 and drafted to a D Cup. I also stock the size 2-24 B cup version.
