Imby Dress Printed Sewing Pattern

Perfect as a breezy summer dress or as part of a layered winter outfit, the Imby dress is a relaxed, romantic wardrobe staple for every occasion. Featuring a ruffle collar and elasticated puff sleeves, the dress also includes inseam pockets in the flowy gathered tier skirt as well as rouleau neckties and a v-neckline split.

The intended style & fit of the Imby dress means the pattern includes generous ease. If you would like more or less ease in your garment, use the garment measurements provided to chose the appropriate size for your preferences.

For best results, we love to use Nerida Hansen Fabrics cotton wovens to make the Imby Dress.

Cotton sateen, 100% cotton, 145-147cm wide

Size 6-10: 3.1m (3 3/8 yards)  Size 12-18: 3.5m (3 7/8 yards)

Mid-weight Cotton, 100% cotton, 137cm wide

Size 6-10: 3.4m (3 3/4 Yards) Size 12-18: 3.5m (3 7/8 yards)

Lightweight Linen Cotton - 55% linen and 45% cotton, 145cm wide

Size 6-12: 3.1m (3 3/8 yards) Size 12-18: 3.5m (3 7/8 yards)

Unless otherwise specified seam allowances are 1cm (3/8”) and neckline allowances are 6mm (1/4”).

Unless sewing a gathering stitch, you should always start and finish any lines of stitching with a back-tack to prevent your stitching from coming undone.

Fabric meterages include 5% shrinkage allowance

Fabric meterage requirements will vary according to selected fabric’s width (requirements given for this pattern are for the recommended Nerida Hansen fabric qualities only, please calculate accordingly for alternative fabric selections)

This pattern refers to seams being finished with an overlocker, however, if you do not have an overlocker you can use a zigzag stitch.

Cotton sateen can easily get ‘white’ pull lines - ensuring needles and pins used are sharp/new will eliminate (or at least minimise) this.
