sewing patterns with cutouts

download link at the end of the postthe weather is getting warmer every day, and i am excited to change from layers of clothing to just one (or two) lighter pieces. to celebrate the sun (and hours of gardening), i am bringing to you the lori sundress.this dress features a loose fitting tiered design, with flutter sleeve detail. it falls just right above the knee (and if you don’t want it to be short, just lengthen the lower tier, you can even get a maxi dress just by doing so!) it is youthful and flirty, and can be a good option for those who want to literally live in their garment.the best thing about it is that you do not have to sew zippers (lol). just like any other amateur sewists (you know i am more trained to be a patternmaker), i dread invisible zippers, so i you will see lots of design that does not require the skill of sewing zippers. my dream is to make myself a whole no-zipper wardrobe!if you are wondering how this design can go with different colors and print, look at it in 3d simulation:here's a view of the front and back of the dressyou can make it with one color/patternor with different color/pattern combinationas usual, my pattern is made in 10 sizes from xxs to 5xl, so you will find yourself a suitable size. you can also lengthen or shorten the hemline to get your desired length – you can even make a maxi dress from this pattern.the pattern is made using layered pdf, please check for your desired size before printing so you won’t waste your paper. i have included a first page with many details about sizing and printing, so please first read the first page and make sure you know what size you need! if you still do not know how to print a layered pdf, please check for the printing instruction in this post: printing guide.you can print this using your home printer and a4/letter paper. i calculated the printing area so that you will be able to use either type of paper to print the pattern out per
