Description
The Panel dress is a long gown characterised by side panels and long ties on each side, allowing for an adjustable and comfortable fit. The front features two darts, while the back includes a keyhole neckline and a central back slit. The dress can be sewn with or without topstitching. It can also be customised with sleeves and/or a round neck collar, which are sold separately. Experiment with the pattern to combine your preferred elements.
Recommended Fabric
This pattern is intended for woven fabrics. For a crisp appearance, select a fabric that maintains structure and doesn’t drape too softly. For a more elegant and feminine feel, choose a fabric with a good drape. If you’re uncertain, fabrics like poplin, woven viscose, and cotton twill are excellent choices for this dress.
