Sleeveless Princess Seam V-Neck Fitted Dress

A sleeveless dress built around structured princess seams, this pattern shapes the bodice through curved seaming rather than darts for a smooth, tailored line. The sharp V-neckline draws the eye upward, while a back zipper keeps the closure clean and allows a close, fitted silhouette through the body. It is designed for women who enjoy a polished, refined shape and want a dress that reads as deliberately tailored.

Medium-weight woven fabrics with a little structure suit this design well, including cotton sateen, linen blends, crepe, and stable suiting. Firmer knits such as ponte also work if a softer fit is preferred. The result is versatile enough for the office, dinner, weddings, and warm-weather occasions where a sleeveless dress feels appropriate, and layering a jacket or cardigan over the top extends its use into cooler seasons.

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.
