Simplicity Sewing pattern 3098

Create a smart women’s dress with Simplicity sewing pattern 3098. This medium-difficulty sewing pattern is designed for sizes 36 to 44 and gives you a polished dress with a button front, gathered skirt and side seam pockets.

View A includes a pointed collar and short sleeves with a sleeve band. Views B and C are collarless and feature long sleeves with elastic at the wrist, so you can choose a finish that suits the season and your style.

This pattern comes with instructions and a size chart to help you work confidently through the project. Seam allowance is included unless stated otherwise, so you can get started with less guesswork.

For the best result, choose a dressmaking fabric such as cotton fabric, linen fabric or poplin. A lighter fabric by the metre with a crisp structure will also work beautifully, especially if you want the gathers and details to hold their shape.

Packaged in an envelope, this Simplicity sewing pattern is a practical addition to your pattern collection and a lovely make if you enjoy sewing dresses with a neat, tailored feel.
