Skill Level
Confident Beginner Friendly Sewing Pattern
This pattern is suitable for makers with basic sewing machine knowledge who are ready to explore cutting on the bias. Full step-by-step instructions and bias-cut guidance are included.
Size Range
XS – XL
Designed with a relaxed fit and natural bias drape so the dress softly adapts to the body.
Please refer to the sizing chart for exact measurements.
SIZING & FIT
The Forever Dress is designed with a relaxed silhouette and cut entirely on the true bias. This allows the fabric to naturally drape, skim and move with the body rather than sitting rigidly on it. Because of this, each size is able to comfortably accommodate a range of body shapes with gentle ease.
Please choose your size based on your body measurements, not your usual ready-to-wear size.

ABOUT THE XL FIT
The XL Forever Dress is drafted with ease and softness in mind, not a tight or structured fit. Because the dress is cut on the bias, the fabric naturally relaxes and moves over the body rather than clinging to it.
If your measurements sit near the upper end of the XL range and you prefer a floatier, more fluid fit, we recommend:
• Choosing a fabric with beautiful drape (linen, vintage sheets, cotton voile, tablecloths)
• Avoiding very stiff or heavyweight fabrics for your first make
Fabric Recommendations
The Forever Dress loves fabrics with memory and movement.
• Vintage cotton sheets
• Tablecloths
• Linen

This pattern is designed especially for upcycled, reclaimed and sustainable fabrics.
