Sew a lovely Vivienne dress with help from this digital PDF sewing pattern, step-by-step video and photo tutorials and of course the amazing free sewing course, here at the academy.The Vivienne teen dress is fitted with princess seam panels at the bodice, flowing into a flattering circle skirt. It features a vintage Peter Pan or asymmetrical collar and closes with an invisible zip at the back. Choose from short sleeves, cap sleeves or three quarter length sleeves, either knee length, short or peplum length. Vivienne is a real all-rounder and can be worn in the office as well as to an ‘über’ posh party! This pattern is so special because it includes a variety of bust sizes from fairly flat chested to DD. Like children’s patterns it still goes by height, which is unusual but a winner for all of us smaller ladies. Please be aware these are teen sizes or small ladies.
