Sewing a jersey dress – perfect for beginners

This project is especially suitable for beginners: the detailed step-by-step instructions with many photos make sewing it a joy. Success is practically guaranteed. The cutting process is also well-thought-out: you can cut many pattern pieces open, meaning without folded fabric. This saves material and helps you keep track of everything. ✂️

Jersey dress pattern – clever & well-thought-out

The pattern is designed so that you can achieve success quickly, even with your first dress. Especially practical: you can label the pattern pieces and transfer all markings directly onto the fabric. This makes sewing the pieces together even easier.

One jersey dress – many variations

WILMA is not just a summer dress. Combined with leggings and a long-sleeve top, this dress will accompany you on cooler days as well. In the instructions, we also show you how to easily lengthen the dress. Whether mini, midi, or maxi – you decide what your WILMA dress should look like 🌞
