Alameda – PDF sewing pattern (sizes 16–28)

UK sizes 16–28

The Alameda Slip Dress and Skirt is a bias-cut slinky sensation. The Dress has a nipped-in waist seam (with optional side seam zip) to lend flattering definition, whilst the Skirt features an elasticated waistband. Choose between two skirt lengths: below-the-knee or midi above-the-ankle. Sophistication and elegance meet comfort and ease in a deceptively simple pattern. 

This pattern includes both B and D-cup bodices.
