If you have a fuller bust (bigger than DD) and the V neckline of the Sia Dress is a little to low for your liking, you could take the lead of the gorgeous Anna from @sew.lala . Anna added 1.5 cm in the middle where she wanted it to close as a full bust adjustment. She has made View A. The top is a size 14, but notes she should have gone with a 12 and her full bust adjustment, with the rest of her dress being cut as the size 12 for the waistband and skirt. Anna was one of the more advanced sewers in the group and fully lined her dress, even adding lining to the sleeve (pattern pieces not included for sleeve lining). By adding the 1.5cm at center front Anna was also able to sew the front V up to a more modest point instead of adding the hook and eye. So clever!!!

Taking a Sia Dress post pause to share 2 of my favourite makes from last year... My blue denim #persephonepants and this little tie back top which is a #voguepatterns #v1507 ✌🏼. I’m looking forward to moving onto some new projects this weekend. I’ve got 4 full days at home..... The plan is for a pair of sandals and to make a dress. If there is any time left after that I’m starting on pattern #2. What are your sewing / making plans for this weekend? * * * #sewsewsew #ilovetosew #seamstress #pdfpattern #waketomake
This is Cass, aka the @craftyprofessor . Cass created View D of the #siadress and shows us the sleeve as per the pattern or with a little hack of not adding the elastic. The result is a fun flared sleeve. So many options 💁🏻‍♀️. Could this pattern even be a skirt, or a top, or a sleeveless dress..... By the way I love Cass’s colorful shoot. She has really made the color of her dress pop 🎉. Cass used a linen rayon blend from @joann_stores which is the perfect fabric choice for an unlined version. This is perfect for intermediate beginners.

The best thing about making your own clothes is you can take a pattern and bring it to life in your very own way. Each piece is uniquely yours and uniquely different. One of my biggest surprises during the Sia Dress testing process was this classic, modern chic version of the Sia Dress made by @sewhotmommi . Dei chose a twill which she also lined to give a crisp and fresh finish to her garment. She has made View A with a few modifications that you can read about on her blog | link in bio on her page. There are possibilities for the Sia Dress that I have not yet thought about and it’s going to be amazing seeing even more versions come to life. The Sia Dress pattern is now available through my website | link in bio. * * * #madebydei #sewingblogger #styleblogger #sewover50 #handmadefashion #stripedress #summerstyle #classicchic #fashionista #fashionover40 #50plusstyleblogger #slowfashion #fashionlover #sewcialists #siadress
One of the most important features for me when coming up with the Sia Dress design was to create a style that was size inclusive. I want women of all shapes and sizes to feel and look beautiful in this dress. When Denise @denise.does sent me the first image of her #siadress it literally brought tears to my eyes! Happy tears of course.... She really rocks her Sia Dress.... Denise made View C, US22 - AU/UK26, unlined in a beautiful printed lightweight Rayon from @spotlightstores The Sia Dress is now available through my website | link in bio ✨ * * * #indiepatterns #sewersgonnasew #sewingproject #seamstress #curvysewingcollective #handmadewardobe #dressmaking #waketomake #sizeinclusivepattern #memade #curvysewing
**SIA DRESS PDF PATTERN IS NOW AVAILABLE THROUGH MY WEBSITE | LINK IN BIO** Meet Marzena, a member of the amazing testing team. @marzena.kolaczek rates her sewing skill level as intermediate beginner and has been sewing for a little over a year. This is the first time she has sewn an invisible zipper 👏👏. Her feedback throughout the testing process has allowed me to make the instructions as beginner friendly as possible. The pattern is not suitable for absolute beginners, but if you have been sewing for a little while and are ready to take that next step, this pattern is the perfect little challenge for you. It is recommended that you sew an unlined version in a more stable fabric like linen, linen blends, cotton or cotton blends. Marzena used a soft & light cotton from @metermeterdk . Video sew alongs are underdevelopment and in the meantime I will happily support you through the sewing process. I’m only an email away! * * * #beginnersewer #indiepatterns #creativelycollective #sewsister #buylessmakemore #sewingismytherapy #memade #diywardrobe #siadress
