Handmake your capsule wardrobe and add this classic showstopping piece. A gorgeous romantic design that is dynamic for any season or event. The dress features a charming square neckline that beautifully frames your collarbone. The bodice has two bust darts and a 1” seam allowance for getting that perfect fit. The gathered full skirt is flattering for every body type, and to amplify the drama even more, there are four additional lower panels that gather into cascading layers, bringing even more volume and fullness to the dress. The pièce de résistance lies in the super long straps that gracefully tie into bows around your shoulders. Whether you're attending a special occasion, a garden soiree, or simply want to feel beautiful on any given day, the Cozette Dress Sewing Pattern can reflect your personal style and give you tons of creative liberty. Designed by Alli Marye.

SUGGESTED FABRIC: Plain Woven Cotton, Linen, Gauze, Challis, Twill, Silk, Velvet, Lightweight Denim, Chiffon, Taffeta, Crepe, Georgette, Lace, Lightweight Wools. Would be great for solid colors, florals, plaids, stripes, and ginghams.
FABRIC REQUIRED
60" Fabric- 5 3/4 yards* (When bodice is lined with the same fabric as the shell)
48" Fabric - 9 yards* (When bodice is lined with the same fabric as the shell)
* Additional fabric is required when not pre-shrunk, matching plaids/stripes, or for directional prints or nap fabrics.
CUTTING TIP: If you are also trying to save money on the fabric yardage you can cut the straps off (add 1/2 seam allowance on each end) and re-position on the fabric to better utilize your yardage instead of cutting the bodice and straps as one piece but then you will have to reattach it to the bodice when constructing the garment. You can also shorten the length of the dress easily to save money on fabric.

When printing at home you have to make sure you are selecting “Actual Size” Or 100% to scale. If you do not do this it will not fit properly. Please check accurate size indications on the printed paper before you cut your fabric.
Please Note that the taping layouts for the A1 and A2 files are included in the file printout and are not in the instruction packet.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Only the bodice is lined, the skirt is not. So if you are using a transparent fabric you may want to add a skirt layer or a slip underneath. However, the amount of gathering helps make it less opaque.
Please give any feedback and provide photos with your review, this helps me make improvements to the overall fit! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about the files before leaving a review! I am happy to help!
