Embrace your feminine side with Style Arc’s latest dress sewing pattern release, the Ariana Woven Dress (paper, PDF, Etsy). Expressing the playful spirit of summer, Ariana is cleverly designed with a shirred panel at the centre back to encourage movement which also allows the dress bodice to fit like a glove.
Ariana revisits a classic shape and introduces today’s street style with its pockets and shirred back. She will have you feeling like a lady with the silhouette cinching at the waist to effortlessly flatter your curves. The flowing mid-length skirt couples nicely with a pair of your favourite sandals or some platform espadrilles to take you into the evening.
Dresses not your thing? No problems! Just leave off the skirt and you will fall in love with the sweet midriff top that looks cute paired back with your favourite jeans or tailored high-waist trousers.

Wondering how you can up your blouse / top game? The year of the sleeve continues into 2018 and for this reason we bring you Miley as this month’s freebie! Miley is a woven top pattern that looks stunning in a crepe viscose as pictured in white. The joy is in the details when it comes to Miley. With its delicate flounce falling from the high-low waist seam, you’ll feel fierce and feminine at the same time. And lastly don’t forget to show off those sleeves! Style the sleeves any way you like, using the ties to draw the length up and bow or knot depending on the look you want to rock.
