Paradise Patterns Solig Dress Sewing Pattern PDF

The Paradise Patterns Solig Dress is a simple dress with a sleek silhouette, suitable for beginners as well as advanced sewists.

View A features an elastic back and feels more secure around the bust than View B which has a slightly scooped gathered back with ties. Both views have a gently curved front neckline with side seam bust darts and thin straps. You can choose to make a maxi length version with or without side seam slits, or a mini version. The neckline is finished with a facing that covers your entire bust.

The instructions will walk you through installing elastic in the facing hem to make it into a low support built-in-bralette, if you so choose.

This pattern will teach you some fun techniques including:

  • French seams
  • Elastic channel
  • French seam slits
  • Turning thin straps

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.

Fabric

This pattern is made for woven fabrics and the look of it will change a lot depending on the fabric you choose. A crepe will make it date night ready, whereas a linen or cotton will make it the perfect everyday summer dress. Other favourites include seersucker for ultimate coolness, cotton poplin for a crisp and billowy silhouette, or any rayon/tencel for a beautiful drape. If choosing a thicker fabric, like linen, you may want to use a matching, lighter weight fabric for the facing/bralette.
