New Pattern Alert: The Nellia Dress is Here!
I’m beyond excited to introduce the newest addition to the Dress collection – the Nellia Dress! Whether you're sewing your first dress or looking to add a timeless staple to your handmade wardrobe, this pattern was made with you in mind.
The Nellia Dress is an effortlessly elegant piece, perfect for special occasions, date nights, or when you just want to feel fabulous at home (yes, velvet-finish satin is encouraged for couch lounging too!).
Here’s what makes Nellia shine:
-
Fully lined bodice for a smooth, professional finish
-
Flattering cowl neckline for a romantic, draped effect
-
Invisible back zipper for that clean, tailored look

Designed with velvet-finish satin in mind, but plays nicely with other drapey fabrics like silk, crepe, or georgette.
