The Abby Dress Sewing Pattern is a relaxed, kaftan-style dress with a flattering deep V-neckline and Dolman sleeves. A waistline casing takes a tie band or elastic for a customisable fit, and side seam pockets plus side slits add practicality to the easy, breezy silhouette. View B adds a romantic touch with shoulder ruffles and a wide hem ruffle, while the straight version offers a simpler, streamlined look.

Fully illustrated instructions guide you through each step. If you’re new to sewing a V-neckline or working with ruffles, it’s worth practising on scrap fabric before cutting into your main fabric.
