This is a digital sewing pattern only, not the actual product!

DESCRIPTION
The Dolman Knot Dress & Tunic is a semi-fitted style pattern intended for knit fabrics. Includes a nursing option with a hidden banded opening underneath and a closed non-nursing option as well! It comes in 3 hemmed lenghts: tunic, and knee-length dress, and maxi dress. There are options for hemmed short sleeves & long sleeves, banded long sleeves, or a bishop sleeve. Choose between the fitted skirt (with ruched maternity front option) or A-line skirt. Optional in-seam pockets add functionality. This dress can be sewn on a sewing machine or a serger, but does require a sewing machine and/or coverstitch machine for hemming, gathering (maternity option), and topstitching (required for the facing).

SIZING
The pattern comes in sizes 2-30 and in 3 different heights. Petite (5’’1- 5’3”), Regular (5’4”- 5’6”) and Tall (5’7”-5’9”). For the best fit, take current measurements and compare against the size chart. If in between sizes, you can size down for a better fit now or size up for room to grow.

RECOMMENDED FABRICS
You will need a 50% 4-way stretch knit. This means the fabric must stretch vertically as well as horizontally. Some fabric suppliers list the % of stretch in a fabric’s description, but it is easy to determine this yourself.
Hold 4” of your knit fabric against the start of a ruler. When you stretch it out, each inch past the initial 4” is 25% of stretch. For this pattern, you want at least 2” (50%) of additional stretch in both directions.
**This pattern is best suited for Cotton Lycra Brushed Polyester Spandex, and Rayon Spandex. If you do use a lightweight fabric, such as Rayon Spandex, I recommend adding clear elastic to the shoulder & skirt band seams to avoid stretching out over time.**


You will be able to download the printable sewing pattern and instructions you can then print at home on US letter 8.5x11” or A4 paper (you will not receive a physical copy of the pattern). This also includes a Projector file and an A0 Printshop file. You will need a PDF viewer (the free version of Adobe is recommended).

You may sell items made from this pattern, but you may not distribute the pattern (please respect my hours of work and refer your friends and family to purchase this listing). I also ask that you do not use my images.
