Beginner Garment: Skyline Dress

Ready to dip into the wonderful world of garment sewing? Need a super customizable dress to take you through summer and the rest of the year? Come make the Skyline Dress by Syd Graham!
In class you will make either the tiered or non-tiered version of this dress, complete with in-seam pockets and adjustable straps. After learning the basics in class, you will be well-situated to use one of the several hacks that the pattern designer has posted on her website for an even more versatile pattern!
This class is intended for beginner garment sewists and seasoned sewists looking for a new wardrobe staple. The dress has a relaxed fit through the bust and is generously sized through the waist and hips. The pattern is sized based on your full bust measurement and works for people with a full bust measurement of between 31 and 61 inches. No need to make a muslin, we'll dive right into the construction of this garment.
