The Ground-Breaking Roxi Dress:

Where maxi dresses fade with the waning sunlight, the Roxi really is a maxi dress for all seasons. Featuring a floor-length design with a thigh length split; the boat neck, high waist, scoop back and batwing-style sleeves lend the wearer a stunningly slim line silhouette.  It transforms from a lightweight spring/summer staple into an autumn day's chic piece, or even a comfortable winter evening show stopper. Why not experiment with stripes or prints to really keep it on trend.

 

FEATURES

  • A boat neck line with key hole back
  • An elasticated strap at the back of the neck
  • Side seam darts for bust shaping to offset the slim line nature of the dress
  • Twin darts for back and waist shaping

  • Jersey: 360cm/ 142”

CREATIVE TIPS

The Roxi dress pattern is the perfect piece for intermediate sewers who are looking to improve their skills when working with jersey material. Constructed using a double layer of fine one or two-way stretch jersey, the pattern only features a few pieces and uses concealed seams for added aesthetics. As the Roxi dress should be constructed using an overlocker machine, each pattern piece has been created with a seam allowance of 0.5cm or 1/4”. Regardless of the sewing skill-level you may possess, we recommend that you make an initial mock-up of this pattern to ensure the ease in which you can construct the Roxi, and the amount of stretch that will be offered by your chosen material.
