Princess Seam Spaghetti Strap Evening A-Line Dress

This evening dress pattern brings together three classic elements: delicate spaghetti straps, structured princess seams, and a softly flared A-line skirt. The princess seams shape the bodice through the bust and waist for a smooth, tailored fit, while the skirt falls away from the body in a clean line. It is designed for women who want a timeless formal dress that can be sewn again and again in different fabrics for different occasions.

Flowing or lightly structured fabrics suit this silhouette best. Satin, crepe, dupioni, or a mid-weight viscose will hold the shape of the princess-seamed bodice while letting the skirt move. Choose it for weddings, parties, formal dinners, or any evening that calls for something a little more considered.

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 US Letter or A4 paper (one file for both), 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.
