Kalispell Dress Itch to Stitch Sewing Pattern

Kalispell Dress Itch to Stitch sewing pattern.

With a touch of vintage and a touch of modern, the Kalispell Dress makes you feel like a goddess any way you view it. Designed with front and back princess seams in the bodice and a full skirt with inverted box pleats, this fit-and-flare dress is flattering to many body types and sizes. You can choose to keep it at midi length, or lengthen or shorten the skirt using instructions included for a different look.

Recommended fabrics

Primary Fabric Use lightweight to medium weight woven fabric. Twill, broadcloth, chambray, and linen are great choices. Do not use fabric narrower than 56” (142 cm); the front and back skirts are too wide to be cut on narrower fabric.

Lining Use lightweight, stable woven fabric such as cotton. The bodice is not lined, but the lining is used for the pockets.

Interfacing Use lightweight to medium weight fusible woven or weft insertion interfacing.

Sizing

• Includes sizes 00 to 20
• Includes custom cup sizes for A, B, C, D and DD cups

When selecting an Itch to Stitch pattern with cup options, the first step is to work out your cup size. To do this, measure around your high bust and then around the fullest part of your bust. Subtract the high bust measurement from the full bust measurement and round the difference:

• 1 inch (2.5cm) = A cup
• 2 inches (5cm) = B cup
• 3 inches (7.5cm) = C cup
• 4 inches (10cm) = D cup
• 5 inches (12.5cm) = DD cup

Once you've identified your cup size, simply check the size chart in the image gallery. Select your bust size from the correct cup size row, then choose your waist and hip measurements as usual.

Available Formats

Delivered Paper Pattern

If you opt for the printed paper pattern we'll print it on our in-house large format A0 printer and post it to your address.

Please note that we don't print the instructions. These will be emailed to you as a PDF, along with the digital pattern files in all sizes, when we dispatch your paper pattern.

Occasionally some large pattern pieces may be split across two A0 sheets and will need to be joined together.

PDF Digital Download

If you choose the PDF digital download option, a link to download your pattern files will be included in your order confirmation email. We recommend creating an account before placing your order so you can easily access your files again by logging in at any time. The following files are included to print at home:

• PDF for A4/Letter printout. The full pattern spans 73 pages (sizes 00–20), though you'll only need to print the pieces for your size, so the final page count may be less.
• PDF for A0/US printout. The full pattern spans 4 pages (sizes 00–20), though you'll only need to print the pieces for your size, so the final page count may be less.
