Pattern Description: Misses' Knit dress with princess seams. This is a pattern I drafted for myself using Jalie 2566, which is the Women's twinset, as the base. I lowered the neckline to a scoopneck, and added princess seams so I could have a full skirt without gathering.

I love the five versions of the dress that I made.

Breakfast in Venice is a black and red cotton jersey.
Teatime in Londonis a print polyester onion skin with lace sleeves.
Candlelight Dinner in Minas Tirith is a wool jersey.
Dinner in Paris is a black cotton lycra/jersey.
Lunch in Barcelona is another print polyester onion skin jersey.

Conclusion: I made this pattern originally so that I could make floor length maxi dresses, which I absolutely love. It was great fun to shorten the length on the pattern and make a few above-the-knee- dresses as well that I love just as much.
