You must already own the Paisley Shirt pattern to use this expansion pack
This expansion pack gives you even more options and variations to keep you busy sewing. Turn the flowing Paisley shirt into a dress, or make use of the tied sleeves on the cropped, shirt, or tunic length of the Paisley shirt pattern. Just like the Paisley shirt, this elasticized waist dress option can be sewn with either woven or lightweight knit for an even looser fit. It uses the Paisley bodice and sits off-shoulder with a flattering elastic and ruffle combination, and an the elasticized waist sits at your natural waist for a flattering silhouette. Choose between mini length skirt or knee length skirt. Want a ruffled hem? Check out our hacks blog post here for the tutorial. The tied sleeve feature is available in short and half sleeve lengths.
Knee Length Option (View A) The knee length skirt hits you at the knees. Over-sized patch pocked are also an option.
Mini Length Option (View B) The mini length skirt hits you around mid-thigh. Over-sized patch pocked are also an option.
Tied Sleeves Option The tied sleeves can be used on the dress or the shirt options from the main Paisley shirt pattern. It features a partial slit up the side (adjustable to preference) and a fabric tie for a featured knot. Available in short and half sleeve lengths.
Intended Fit Information This dress is intended to have a draped / slight a-line fit. You will choose your bodice size based on your BUST measurement, the skirt size based on your HIPS measurement, and blend sizes for your waist if necessary. More information on how to blend out for your measurements can be found in the Custom Fit section of this PDF.
