Here is a simple cowl neck dress pattern to follow:
Step 1: Take your measurements
- Measure your bust, waist, hips, and the length from your shoulder to your desired hemline.
Step 2: Create the pattern
- Start by drawing a basic dress pattern on pattern paper. You can use a basic shift dress pattern as a base.
- Add extra width to the front neckline to create the cowl effect. The amount you add will depend on how deep you want the cowl to be.
- Cut out the pattern pieces.
Step 3: Cut out the fabric
- Lay your fabric out flat and place the pattern pieces on top.
- Pin the pattern pieces in place and carefully cut around them.
Step 4: Sew the dress
- Sew the front and back pieces of the dress together at the side seams.
- Hem the bottom of the dress and the sleeves if desired.
- Sew the shoulders together.
- Create the cowl neck by folding the fabric at the front neckline and stitching it in place.
Step 5: Finish the dress
- Try the dress on and make any necessary adjustments.
- Sew in any closures, such as a zipper or buttons.
- Press the seams and hems to give the dress a polished look.
And there you have it - a beautiful cowl neck dress that you made yourself! Feel free to customize the pattern to suit your style and preferences.
