Borne out of a desire for a graceful, grown-up party dress, Elsie is perfect for warm, balmy evenings in the sun, as well as those festive, wintery soirees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a gently curved V-neckline, flattering princess seams, dramatic pleats and a nod to our favourite fashions of the ’50s, the Elsie Dress is elegant, sophisticated and guaranteed to catch an eye. We can definitely see Betty Draper in this!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned to have that immaculate finish inside as well as out, Elsie features a fully lined and faced bodice, neat invisible zip and delicate hand finishing. The pattern also comes with a quick-to-sew skirt version too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRecommended fabrics\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Elsie Dress makes the ideal canvas for those special fabrics; think striking stretch cottons, brilliant brocades and dazzling jacquards. Cotton poplin, silk dupion, taffeta and even lighter soft furnishing fabrics would be lovely. Ideally you want to choose something with a bit of body so that the skirt can hold the pleats. We suggest avoiding anything with too much drape for Elsie.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the bodice is fully lined, you will also need lining fabric. For this we recommend either a soft cotton lawn or a rayon for summer, whilst for a winter dress, you might prefer to try a regular acetate lining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAvailable Formats\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Elsie Dress is available in the following formats (just select the one you want from the drop down menu):\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDelivered Paper Pattern\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note that we don’t print the instructions.
