Happy Friday!!!! I’m kicking off this Friday in my Crew Bodycon Dress by Kommatia Patterns that I recently got to pattern test. The Crew bodycon dress is your basic bodycon dress style that you can dress up or dress down. It features long sleeves with a crew neck and can be made in three lenghts – mini, knee and midi. If you’ve lost your sewjo or looking for a stash buster pattern, then this is the pattern for you. It only took me a few hours to make this dress and less then two yards of fabric.
Crew the Bodycon Dress
I love projects like this one because making the Crew Bodycon Dress was super easy to make. There are only 4 pieces to this pattern, the front, back, neck and sleeves – that’s it! You can literally make this pattern in an hour. It took me a little longer because I made a muslin first because I don’t normally make such fitted clothes and the largest size was a little smaller then my actual measurements. I made a size XL and it came out perfect. The fabric requirements state that you need use a knit that has 40% stretch and the pattern instructions help you determine how much stretch your fabric has, just incase you aren’t sure. I used a knit fabric that I purchased from Walmart in a 2 yard pre-packaged bundle for $5! Unfortunately, you don’t get fabric specifications. It is a 4 ways stretch knit fabric and I’m sure it has some spandex in it. Sorry, but I don’t have a link and I haven’t seen this fabric anywhere else.
I chose to keep it simple and style my dress with these knee high boots that I purchased at Target during Black Friday last year which I love and I threw on my fav Ray-Ban Sunnies.
I really enjoy the fit of this dress because it’s not too big and it’s not too tight either. I chose to make the knee lengh because I didn’t want it to be a mini dress and I didn’t want it too long either. I think the lenghth is perfect for me.
The Crew is perfect because you can dress it up for date night or you can throw on a pair of sneakers and run errands. Either way, this dress is super comfortable and easy to wear.
The Crew Bodycon Dress by Kommatia Patterns has now been released and you can pick up the PDF pattern HERE. I really enjoy testing Kommatia Patterns because they are usually easy to make, on trend patterns. Remember my Bruges Bomber Jacket? You guessed it, it’s a Kommatia Pattern. That’s another winner in my book. If you’re all about quick, self gratifying projects, then the Crew Bodycon Dress is the pattern for you. Don’t say I didn’t tell you.
Let me know in the comments below what you think of my dress.
Until next time!
