Closet Core - Paper Sewing Pattern - Nicks Dress + Blouse Pattern

The Nicks Dress + Blouse sewing pattern by Closet Core Patterns is a beautifully versatile design with a relaxed, bohemian feel and thoughtful feminine details. Featuring a loose-fitting V-neck bodice with softly gathered shoulders and yoke, this pattern includes interchangeable neckline finishes, short or long sleeves, and three stylish variations to suit every season.

Choose View A, a button-front dress with a comfortable elasticated waist and a beautifully gathered tiered skirt; View B, a relaxed swing tunic with a softly gathered lower tier; or View C, an elegant blouse that's perfect for pairing with jeans, skirts or tailored trousers. Whether you're sewing an everyday blouse or a floaty statement dress, Nicks offers plenty of opportunities to personalise your handmade wardrobe.

Designed for light to medium-weight woven fabrics, this independent paper sewing pattern works beautifully in both fluid and more structured fabrics. Softer fabrics create graceful movement through the gathered details, while crisper cloths give the garment a little more shape and definition.

Suitable for intermediate sewists, the Nicks pattern is a rewarding project for developing confidence with gathering, button loops, neckline finishes and sleeve construction. The detailed instructions guide you through each technique, resulting in a beautifully finished garment you'll wear for years to come.

A versatile dress and blouse pattern that perfectly balances relaxed elegance with everyday wearability.
