Slip into the fabulous Lacey Knit Dress. It’s easy to make and easy to wear. Lacey will work with either knit or woven fabrics. Sitting on the waist, Lacey has a slightly gathered skirt with side pockets.
The interesting bodice has an extended shoulder line that creates a short sleeve that can be worn straight or rolled. The bodice has clever design lines that allow directional stripes or mixed textures.

Great pattern, I’ve made three already. Great in a lightweight linen for summer. I changed the pockets- used the pocket pattern from the Barry pants and attached them to the waistband rather than doing in seam pockets. I also narrowed the neckline and used bias binding rather than facing. I find bias binding sits better and I think it looks neater.

This is a great pattern, I have made 3 and will surely make it again. It comes together very easily and the bodice construction is really nice. My favourite Stylearc pattern so far.

I’ve made this dress 4 times (and probably will a bunch more) in both knits and wovens. It’s straight forward to make because it has no sleeve setting in and it’s super comfortable to make. I’d highly recommend this one!

A clever pattern. Loose and easy to wear. I made it out of a jungle patterned rayon and am very happy with it.

I like the look a lot; I made the dress just like the avatar with a thin blue and white stripe. It was fairly easy to sew, all I added was some top stitching in the bodice.
I’ve never really liked dresses with yolks as they always bunch and pop up, but SA yolks tends to stay down and can’t be seen when wearing.
The fit is rather loose, so I would say that if you’re pear shaped (like me) maybe size down?

Love this pattern. Just the type of Gorman style I was looking for. Bonus that it is quick and easy to sew as well for a beginner sewer.

This dress is flattering and simple to construct. The directions are minimalistic but complete. I made one in an evening. Opportunities to showcase special fabrics. I’ll be making my second one tomorrow after work,

How Do I Know What Size I Am?
Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.
When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:
A. Shoulder Breadth
Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.
B. Upper Arm Girth
This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.
C. Bust
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.
D. Waist
This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.
E. Hip
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
