The Joelle Dress Sewing Pattern is a gorgeous make that can be worn as a maxi dress or a mini dress. The maxi dress has a frilled hem and both versions have a little peekaboo under the bust, as well as optional pockets. There is a very cute bow that is threaded through at tie at the front and is sewn on with a couple of hand stitches, so is easy to take on or off. It is designed to be worn with a bra, although not every bra works.
Wear it in bright colours in the sun, as a fun party dress or even at your wedding!
