The Kerttu Knot Dress & Skirt PDF Sewing Pattern by Named Clothing includes two coordinated styles: a strappy maxi dress with a front tie detail and a high-waisted tiered maxi skirt. Both designs feature an elasticated waist and a full-length tiered hem, making them ideal for creating relaxed summer clothing.
The Kerttu knot-front dress has a deep V-neckline, a decorative keyhole opening and a tie detail at the front. At the back, the rounded neckline is gathered into slim spaghetti shoulder straps. The straps can be adjusted through an opening in the back lining, so you can customise the fit. The elasticated waist creates shape while keeping the dress comfortable to wear.
The Kerttu maxi skirt has a simple high-waisted design with an elasticated waist and a tiered full-length hem. It is an easy-to-style separate that works with everything from fitted tops to relaxed shirts.
Both versions are designed for lightweight to medium-weight non-stretch woven fabrics. Choose cotton or linen for a little more structure, or use a drapier fabric such as rayon challis for softer movement through the tiers. You can use ready-made cord for the dress straps or make your own from matching fabric.
This intermediate sewing pattern is available in sizes EUR 32–56, US 0–24 and UK 4–28. It's a versatile choice if you're looking for a knot-front dress sewing pattern, a strappy maxi dress pattern or a tiered maxi skirt PDF pattern.
