Buy the Cordelia Dress sewing pattern from Sew Me Something. This jersey dress or tunic is simple and elegant with a clever little twist at the front empire seam and gentle gathers that fall gracefully down the front. The back skirt has darts to give a nipped-in shape.
Version 1 is sleeveless so perfect for hot summer days. Version 2 has straight set-in sleeves that are 3/4 length, a little more covered up for cooler days. Version 3 has flared short set-in sleeves that give a softness to the overall feel of the dress. All versions can also be made to a shorter length to create a versatile tunic. With so many options, Cordelia will take you through all four seasons with ease.
