The Shift Dress is a beginner-friendly pattern designed to help you develop your garment-making skills while creating a beautifully finished dress you’ll be proud to wear.
 
As you work through the pattern, you’ll learn how to sew princess seams, insert an invisible zip and finish edges with bias binding. These are useful techniques that you can take on to future sewing projects, making this more than just a dress pattern.
 
With its clean lines and versatile shape, you can create a dress for everyday wear or choose a fabric that makes it feel a little more special.
 
Denim, linen and corduroy all work particularly well, giving you the option to create a relaxed everyday dress or something a little more structured.
