Pattern Format

Françoise is a chic and easy-to-wear mini dress, inspired by sixties fashion yet always in style. The design features striking French darts and raglan seams. Choose from two-piece three-quarter length sleeves or a sleeveless version, with optional collar and waist tab.

With its simple flat sleeve construction method and jargon-busting instructions, this pattern makes a great first dress project for beginner sewists. More experienced stitchers can add the optional collar and play around with design variations - how about adding piping to the raglan seam lines? 

The Françoise dress is a PDF pattern only.  This pattern is not available as a printed pattern.

    The Perfect Dress

    I’ve wanted to make this dress for ages, but I’ve been intimidated. But once I finally started it was really fun and went pretty quickly. I’m giving it 4 stars because it doesn’t have pockets, if there were it would be 5 stars. I also substituted bias tape for the neck tape and it worked great. Highly recommend this pattern!

    Hi Kitt, thank you so much for your lovely review! I'm so glad you finally gave the dress a go and found it fun to make - yay! Sorry about the lack of pockets - you can definitely add patch or in-seam pockets to your next version. :) Happy sewing! Virginija x
