90s Retro Mini Dress with Spaghetti Straps and Side Slit

This 90s retro mini dress brings back the easy, pared-back silhouette of the decade, with delicate spaghetti straps and a subtle side slit that adds movement to the short hemline. Designed for women, it suits anyone who likes a simple, body-skimming dress that can be dressed up or kept relaxed depending on the fabric and styling.

Light to medium weight fabrics with a soft drape work best here. Satin, crepe, viscose, rayon challis or a fine linen all give the fluid hang the style relies on, while a stable knit offers a more forgiving fit through the body. The result is an adaptable dress for warm weather, holidays, parties and evenings out, and it layers neatly over a fitted tee or under a cardigan when the temperature drops.

Sizes run from XS to 5XL (XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on A4 paper, and it also includes an A0 file for printing at a copy shop. Each size is a separate file, so you print only the size you need.
