Hedy is a simple, unstructured shaped dress that has cleverly constructed design lines. The asymmetrical neck pleat drapes to the side seam and creates the hidden pockets and the fabulous cocoon shape.
The Hedy pattern comes in 2 lengths – a knee-length dress & mid-calf length dress with side splits.
Fabric Suggestion & Description
Knit Jersey, Stretch Silk or any fabric with a stretch component and drape

I purchased size 10 of this pattern, which is where my measurements fall. I received size 8 and 12 as well. I am glad I did, because I found the pattern runs a bit big. So I made size 8 instead of 10, and I still took off about 1/4″ more from the side seams above the pockets. I really love how it turned out and I can see myself making a few more. I just wish I could get multi size version, as I am on a quest to lose weight, and size 8 will be too big soon.
Great pattern overall, very flattering!

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.
