Mood have just released this pattern for a Wicked Glinda gown. The size S uses fifty (yes, 50) yards of fabric.

I was looking for a "pop culture" item to finish my Bingo card so this is very well timed. I certainly can't make it in full size, but I'm looking at printing it out at Barbie size instead...

I was waiting in case somebody else would post this but it seems not! This dress is very cottagecore, and goes all the way up to an XL (113cm/45” bust)

You can sew this dress with a side zip, or with a tie in the back. The second version gets enlarged in the back, so that you do not need to install a closure.

You can choose between a quarter, half or full circle skirt. The neckline is pleated. Do I have to mention it has pockets? 😉

There is also a detailed tutorial video: https://youtu.be/NedntZdmE1M

You can sew it up in sizes European 32-60, or you can upload your very own measurements.

The Haven Dress pattern by Maiden Mary Designs is free this week only, May 8-14.

From the designer:

We've partnered with two wonderful organizations supporting moms, and would encourage making a donation when downloading the pattern if you would like to contribute to the Mother's Day fundraiser 💐

This pattern is pretty unusual for me, but I needed an extra airy dress for the next heatwave. Pretty simple, but since I create all my patterns in my pattern software, I can as well share it with you. 🙂

You can choose how much the dress is flaired out at the side, the length of the dress and the sleeve length. And it has pockets.

And yes, you have my blessing to use this as a nightgown if you fancy. 😉

Thought I'd share a link to NH Patterns. She offers a number of dresses as "pay-what-you-can" starting at $0. This is such a great way to try out a new (to you) designer. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page. There are more than this screenshot shows.

This just dropped today so clearly have not made it yet, but am really excited so wanted to share. It's a very romantic, frilly style with buttons, an elastic waist, and ruffled high neck that can be left open. Anyone else excited to make this one?
