Nicks Dress + Blouse Pattern
Inject a little bohemian glamour into your wardrobe with the Nicks Dress + Blouse. In multiple variations with soft gathering and delicate details, it's satisfying to make and a pleasure to wear.
All views feature a loose-fitting V-necked bodice with a gently gathered shoulder and yoke. The slightly puffed sleeve is gathered at the shoulder; choose between a short sleeve, or a long sleeve with wrist pleats for shaping and an elastic gathered cuff. You may also choose between two interchangeable neckline finishes: a simple facing, or a bias-bound neckline with delicate rouleau button loops and buttons. View A is a button-front dress with a comfortable elastic waist, long or short sleeves, and three gathered skirt tiers. View B is a voluminous swing tunic with a gathered hip tier and long or short sleeves. View C is an elegant blouse with a faced neckline and long or short sleeves.
Sizes: 0-20 (print and PDF) and 14-32 (PDF)

Customer Reviews
I have made 3 of the blouses so far in different fabrics and they have all came out great. I found there is a lot of wearing ease built into the design, so I did size down from my usual closet core size of 16, to 14, based on garment measurements. With some careful placement I was able to create 2 of the blouses (with short sleeves) with less than 1.5m of fabric! I am so happy to find a pattern that I can use to get rid of the remnants I have in my stash, that isn't some sort of tank top. As always the instructions are clear and detailed. I will be making the full dress next!
Easy to follow pattern with exceptional customer support. Looks great finished and I’ve learned alot during construction both in terms of pattern adjustments where required and techniques in the sewing. Thank you
Made this twice now and setting up for third! Very good instructions and I backed it up by watching a tutorial on Sewing Street! Only thing I would say is that I’m downsizing by at least two sizes unless you like blouses particularly billowy!
Superbe robe, très bien expliquée, pas si difficile à faire. Super rendu. Cousue en lin coton et bientôt en coton indien.
J ai fait aussi la blouse en coton viscose, que du bonheur !
Good pattern
