Simplicity Sewing pattern 3097

Simplicity Sewing pattern 3097 is a women’s dress pattern with a flattering fit-and-flare shape and V-neckline. Designed for intermediate sewists, it gives you a stylish base for a dress with plenty of room to make it your own.

The pattern includes length and sleeve variations, so you can choose short fold-back sleeves or a sleeveless version depending on the look you want. It is supplied in an envelope and comes with instructions in English and French, plus a size chart to help you plan your project with confidence.

Sizes included are 38 to 46. Seam allowances of 1.5 cm are included unless stated otherwise, so you can get started without adding them separately.

Choose fabrics that suit the shape of the dress. A cotton fabric or poplin gives a clearer, more structured finish, while jersey fabric, viscose or linen fabric can create a softer, more relaxed feel. This is a versatile dressmaking fabric project that works well for a classic or more contemporary look.

If you are looking for a practical sewing pattern with elegant lines and useful variations, Simplicity 3097 is a rewarding choice for your next make.
