The Tie Dress epitomizes versatility and style by cleverly blending the ubiquitous appeal of customizable ties with the graceful silhouette of a classic dress. Featuring ties at the waist, this garment offers multiple closure options.
Moreover, the reversible neckline adds another dimension of adaptability, offering the choice between a subtle boat neck or a flattering v-neck, catering to a multitude of preferences and occasions.
Embodying a blend of charm and sophistication, this dress exudes cuteness, romance, and elegance. With short sleeves, it radiates a playful charm, while elbow-length sleeves evoke a sense of romance.
With the addition of lining, sewing this dress becomes an accessible project, even for beginners. The step-by-step sewalong video ensures that every aspect, including potentially challenging features like the inseam pockets, is demystified. If you’re new to sewing, tackling inseam pockets might seem daunting, but rest assured, you can approach them at your own pace. However, if you’re not ready to tackle inseam pockets just yet, feel free to skip this optional step.
In the sewalong video, I guide you through each step, ensuring that your sewing experience is therapeutic rather than overwhelming. Your sewing journey should be enjoyable and rewarding, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

SUGGESTED FABRIC
For the Tie Dress, I would suggest using fabrics that drape well and offer comfort, as they will enhance the flow and movement of the garment. Here are some fabric options to consider:
- Linen
- Double Gauze
- Lightweight Cotton
- Rayon
- Crepe
- Silk
The fabrics I used for my Tie Dresses
1. Cotton Double Gauze - Shark/Ocean Windowpane
2. Ethereal Grid Linen - Mint Fog
3. Cotton Lawn - Acorn
4. Cotton Double Gauze - Midnight/Denim Gingham
PREPARATION
Pre-wash and dry all your fabrics as this will prevent your garment from shrinking. We recommend you read the instructions thoroughly before sewing.

I broke my arm in November and am hoping to get back to sewing in January. I love the flexibility of the design and have purchased the fabric. I am excited to try it.
Nice presented pattern with all information needed.
Easy to sew and liked the result.
Used a green patterned chiffon so it feels lovely to wear but I also made an underskirt because the fabric was too see through.
Will use this pattern again.
I loved everything I ordered and It came very quickly. The quality of the fabric, the careful attention to the details from the wrapping to the thank you card made me feel like a valued customer!
and easy pattern. The first one I made was too big for me ( size 6 45kg 178cm) so I gave it to a friend who absolutely loves it! I’ll be making another for myself soon
