Closet Core Patterns - PDF Sewing Pattern - Pauline Dress Pattern

The Closet Core Pauline Dress PDF Sewing Pattern is a true statement-making dress pattern designed for creating romantic, dramatic handmade garments. Featuring a distinctive bodice, beautiful sleeve options and interchangeable skirt styles, Pauline allows you to create a dress that feels completely unique to your personal style.

The beautifully shaped bodice features elegant knife pleats at the waist, a flattering square neckline and a delicate keyhole opening at the back finished with a tie at the nape of the neck. Choose between a sleeveless above-knee sheath dress or a show-stopping puff sleeve midi dress with a tiered skirt for two completely different looks.

Pauline can be sewn unlined or fully lined and fastens with an invisible centre-back zip for a polished finish. Whether made in crisp cotton for a structured silhouette or a softer fabric for a more romantic drape, this versatile pattern is perfect for special occasions, summer dresses and standout handmade wardrobes.

Designed for confident sewists, Pauline is an engaging sewing project that allows you to explore more advanced garment-making techniques including pleats, lining, invisible zips and statement sleeves.
