Resources to Draft a Sewing Pattern

Gathered Hemlock Dress by Anthropologie

Can I ever stop posting images of beautiful dresses? I was extremely smitten by the pencil dress created by D&G (the floral dress below) & DKNY. It is truly a wardrobe staple.

As you know, I'm not an atelier sewing pro! When I need to know how to learn something, I utilize the Web. Since I'm a loving blogger, I want to share my research with you! Here is an easy resource list to help any girl learn how to draft patterns:

I started by collecting a few Free Patterns from the web. I don't have to start from complete scratch. I can start with something that I can modify. Here are the most interesting links to the resources I found:

• Free C-Dress Pattern available at BurdaStyle Website. This is a beautiful daytime dress.
• Free Dress Patterns by Frills and Flares. This website had the best information on how to draft a pattern. 
• Free Classic Shift Pattern 
• Free Period Costume Patterns from 18th Century-think Jane Austen-to the late 1950s. 
• Dress Tutorial Resources from Craft Gossip
• Favorite Tee Dress by iCandy. Another beautiful daytime dress.
