Deep V-Neck Open Back Evening Dress

This evening dress pattern brings together three statement details in one elegant silhouette: a deep V-neckline, an open back, and a side slit that moves as you walk. Designed for women who want a show-stopping garment for formal occasions, it offers a sultry yet refined look that suits a first foray into eveningwear as well as a confident addition to a handmade formal wardrobe.

Fluid, drapey fabrics flatter the lines of this dress best. Consider satin, crepe, silk charmeuse, or a soft viscose blend that falls close to the body and lets the slit and open back do their work. Stable knits with good recovery are another option for a softer finish. Wear it to weddings, galas, anniversary dinners, New Year celebrations, or any evening event that calls for something memorable.

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.
