Buy the Thea Dress sewing pattern from Sew Over It. Thea is a knit dress with a striking silhouette. The cocoon shape of the body contrasts with the narrow sleeves for a modern look. Inspired by cool, minimalist designs from the continent, Thea is a versatile dress you can wear anywhere. Pop on a chunky necklace and it’s perfect for heading from the office to after-work drinks.
Thea features a boat neckline and an exaggerated batwing drop-shoulder sleeve. The relaxed-fitting body skims over the torso, before coming back in at the hips to create that lovely cocoon shape. The pattern includes two lengths – over the knee, and a slightly shorter above the knee version. With just three pattern pieces, Thea makes a fantastic afternoon project for beginners and experienced sewers alike.
