Need pattern recommendation For strapless maxi dress
Julkane   Intermediate PA USA Member since 9/14/07 Posts: 442	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 1/12/13 8:49 AM My daughter found a piece of knit fabric, bold horizontal stripe, that she would like a strapless empire waist style maxi dress. She wears a size 4 RTW. I have really only made scrubs for her, so, although, this should be fairly easy, does anyone have a pattern recommendation for a strapless maxi dress? Thanks.

You can see it here: McCalls 9295 They like it because it looks like an empire waist but is actually an attached bandeau and so the top part of the dress is doubled and fits firmly which they like. The dress itself is just a tube & the girls sometimes give it shape on the side seams and other times they don't bother because they team it with a belt. The dress has been made with contrasting bandeaux as well as matching and even been left off on occasions. HTH

Thanks so much. I actually really like the halter neck also. I cannot wait to see what my daughter thinks. ------ Elna Excellence 740, Pfaff Quilt expression 4.0, Janome 300E, Brother 8500D, Janome 900CPX CoverPro, Brother 5234 Project Runway Serger, Singer Treadle http://juliannasjourney.blogspot.com/
