High Waist Circle Skirt Strap Dress

The High Waist Circle Skirt Strap Dress is a sleeveless dress pattern built around a fitted high-waisted bodice and a full circle skirt that falls in soft, swirling folds. Narrow shoulder straps keep the upper body simple and open, so the shape of the skirt does the talking. It suits sewists who want a defined waistline and plenty of movement through the hem.

Light to medium weight woven fabrics work best here. Cotton poplin, chambray, linen blends and viscose all give the skirt the drape and body it needs, while crisper cottons hold a fuller flare. The result is an easy warm weather dress for summer days, garden parties, holidays and evenings out, and it layers neatly under a cardigan or denim jacket 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.
