White V-Neck A-Line Dress with Bishop Sleeves and Side Slit

This A-line dress pattern brings together a flattering V-neck, voluminous bishop sleeves, and a side leg slit that adds movement with every step. The silhouette skims gently from shoulder to hem, making it a versatile project for sewists who want a feminine shape without a close fit.

Lightweight, fluid fabrics suit the design best. Crepe, rayon challis, viscose, or a soft cotton lawn will let the bishop sleeves billow and the skirt fall cleanly, while a crisper poplin gives a more structured line. Sewn in white, it works beautifully for bridal events and summer celebrations, though any colour carries it through garden parties, holidays, and evenings out.

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.
