Digital Sewing Pattern - Simone Slip Dress + Camisole Pattern by Closet Core Patterns

Description

The ultimate in luxurious loungewear, the Simone Slip is a contemporary take on an iconic silhouette. Cut entirely on the bias, it is designed to drape and mold elegantly around the body.

With a deep V neckline, pieced bodice, and adjustable rouleau straps, Simone is available in three variations: a classic camisole, above-the-knee slip, and midi slip dress. Choose between an alluring low back or a mid-back for more coverage, and add an optional lace panel for additional bust coverage.

Suggested fabric type

• For best results, look for drapey and fluid woven fabrics like silk crepe, satin, chiffon, georgette, viscose or rayon challis (if you are new to sewing on the bias, avoid very slippery fabrics like silk charmeuse and satin).
• You may also try lightweight woven fabrics with an open weave like linen and cotton gauze. Avoid densely woven and stable fabrics as they are too structured and will not drape and conform to the body.
• If you'd like to add a lace panel, use stretch or rigid lace with a scalloped edge, a minimum of 4" (10cm) wide.

Supplies required

• Polyester thread in matching colour
• Marking tool
• Loop or tube turner for rouleau straps
• Optional: 1/4" (6mm) rings and sliders for Views A & C
• Optional: bias tape for finishing bust seams
