READY, SET, TWIRL!

Meet Martha, the fit-and-flare dress sewing pattern with a contemporary twist. Designed to skim the bodice and flare out into a swishy, bias-cut skirt, Martha is a versatile handmade dress you’ll love wearing for years to come. Choose from short sleeves or three-quarter-length bell sleeves, and a mini or knee-length hemline to make a dress that’s uniquely yours.

With its elegant high neckband and flattering princess seams, Martha is easy to dress up or down. Wear it with sandals and sunglasses in the summer, or layer it with knitted tights and boots when the weather turns cooler. Perfect for work, weekends and twirling whenever the mood strikes!

High neckline finished with a neckband
Princess seam panels for shaping

Fabric Suggestions

Light- to medium-weight fabrics, such as viscose (rayon), silk or polyester crêpe de chine, cotton lawn, chambray, broderie anglaise, double knit with a little stretch or lighter-weight wool. Avoid directional prints, as the skirt is cut on the bias (at an angle). How about adding a lace trim?
