Paradise Patterns Smultron Dress Sewing Pattern PDF

The Paradise Patterns Smultron Dress is a voluminous, fun dress. It’s so easy to adapt to different lengths and works with an impressive variety of fabrics.

View A is a short, half circle, bias dress with a V-neck yoke, spaghetti straps, and an elastic back.

View B is a short, half circle, bias dress with a slightly curved neckline, spaghetti straps, and back ties.

You can of course mix it up and put the back ties on View A, or elastic back on View B. The instructions also show you how to lengthen and shorten the dress, and add optional tiers.

You will learn how to:

  • Make spaghetti straps
  • Cut a bias dress
  • Sew French seams
  • French seam slit (in the centre back of the dress)

A physical print out of the instruction booklet will NOT be included. You can view the instruction booklet on your device at home, print it out at home, or add the 'printed pattern instructions' product (see link below) to your order and we will print it for you.
