Joelle Dress Sewing Pattern - Pattern Tester Makes

How lovely to see all the beautiful Joelle Dresses that my pattern testers made - just in time for summer! The Joelle Dress sewing pattern can be made as a maxi dress or a mini dress. It has the option of the bow, which is very simple to take on and off, as it’s just threaded through the bow tie and then attached with two hand stitches. It has a cute little peekaboo under the bust and is designed to be worn with a bra, (at the insistence of the women I share my studio with!!) although not every bra will work. The dress is fastened with a zip at the centre back and has optional side seam pockets.

My pattern testers made some absolutely stunning versions of both the maxi dress sewing pattern and mini dress sewing pattern both with and without the bow. The fabrics they used included linen, viscose, cotton, rayon and tulle.
