Fable Dress Sewing Pattern - Women's/Curved Fit
An effortless, elegant style, the Fable Dress is equally at home pottering around the garden, or dressed up for an evening out. The fit is relaxed, but not oversized, with a princess seam bodice, gently-gathered skirt, and gloriously deep inseam pockets.
The Fable features a functional button front, but can also slip over the head without fasteners. With three sleeve lengths and options for both a faced or fully-lined bodice, the Fable adapts with the seasons for year-round wear.
Optional waist ties or back bodice elastic add versatility for fluctuating weight, and provide plenty of choice for creating different looks.
Skill level: Adventurous beginner - Intermediate
Fitting adjustment resources: Included
Add-ons: The Sprig Sleeve Add-On includes six new sleeve styles that can be used with the Fable Dress and the Plains Dress.
Skills you will learn: Princess seams, set-in sleeves, gathering, in-seam pockets, (optional) bias binding
Video Support: A full course of clear, concise videos accompany this pattern, alongside a comprehensive written and photographed instruction booklet.
