This versatile pattern includes three sleeveless variations, a top, a short dress and a longer dress, all defined by gentle gathers at the neckline and a subtle keyhole opening at the back.

Inspired by contemporary ready-to-wear styles, this drop waist dress sewing pattern is ideal for recreating the clean, effortless aesthetic seen in brands like COS. The silhouette feels both current and timeless, making it a beautiful addition to a modern handmade wardrobe.

Perfect for:

  • Sewing a modern drop waist dress with a minimalist feel
  • Recreating designer-inspired, contemporary garments
  • Lightweight summer dresses and tops

Skill level • Advanced beginner

Pattern Details:

  • Printed sewing pattern with clear, well-illustrated instructions
  • Sizes XS–3XL included 
  • Three variations: top, short dress and longer dress
  • Optional design variations including bias binding and a ruffle hem

Suggested fabrics: This pattern works best in light to mid-weight woven fabrics such as:

  • Cotton poplin
  • Linen and linen blends
  • Lightweight cotton sheeting
  • Soft structured fabrics with gentle drape

Fabric choice will influence the final look — crisp fabrics create a more sculptural silhouette, while softer fabrics enhance the fluid, relaxed shape.

Fabric requirements • Please see final image for fabric requirements.

You will also need:

  • Matching thread
  • Fusible interfacing
  • Optional: buy pre-made bias binding (the fabric allowance includes bis binding from dress fabric). Please see last image for the length required.

Sewing tips:

  • Lightweight fabrics will enhance the soft gathers and movement of the dress
  • Take care when finishing the neckline for a clean, professional result
  • Consider adding the optional ruffle hem for a more statement look
  • Pre-wash your fabric to allow for any shrinkage

Functional and great look!
Color: Black, Color: Black
This is my third watch I’ve had in the last 10 years. I bought my first one in 2014 when I was doing triathlons. My second one just died after surfing/working in a hospital with it for the last 3-4 years. I could of just changed the battery but for $40 and it will last, I thought hmmm let’s just get a new one. No complaints! Shipping arrived in 2 days, and the price can’t be beat. If you are looking for a simple watch to wear and not having to worry about getting it messed up this is it! I had a garmin 410xt that I had to charge etc but this watch is extremely convenient and comfortable. High recommend!

Not great...
Color: Black/Negative
The dial is so dark that I can barely see the numbers. Very, very disappointing.

PERFECT
Color: Black
Watch is light weight. Has a good feel on the wrist and easy to read during the day and easy to read with the indigo back light at night. I have large wrists and this size is good. For smaller people it might be to large. The functions work well and its water tight. Its durable and keeps on ticking.

Very Good watch
Color: Blackout
The one complaint I hear most often about this watch is it is harder to see in lower lighted conditions. Yes that is true BUT IT HAS INDIGLO so It is not a problem. Most of the time you don't need to turn the light on though. You usually can make out what it says even without the light. Usually if you can't see it then a slight angle change and you can see the time. If you still can't see it....it does have indiglo. It really takes no time at all to hit the button and you can see in any light condition. I have been looking at watches to buy for some time now and have looked at a lot of them. When I first got this in the mail I thought it to be small. I was comparing it to the G-shock series. The ones I was looking at the most was the XL ones. So yes it is small compared to the XL G-shocks. I have an XL watch and found that it gets in the way. When ever my wrist gets bent backwards my hand presses against the watch and restricts my movement that way. This is really the perfect size. One common complaint with Ironman's is they have started integrating the band with the watch. So when the band breaks, which they often did, the watch was useless cause you couldn't replace the band. This one has the replaceable band but still manages to have that integrated look, very nice. I really don't expect the band to break any time soon though. It feels very durable and thick. One thing about the band that I really like is at the end of the band. It has two little "nubbins" that lock in the that loop that holds the excess band in. They really work well. Every watch I have ever owned that little loop moves and releases the excess and then you have to fix it. It has yet to slip off once. All in all in is very nice watch. It works well, the price is very reasonable, The band is replaceable and durable, and the blacked out look is very nice. I love this watch.

Favorite daily use watch
Color: Blackout
Literally the best watch ever. Super durable. This is my second or third one. The Battery will last years at a time and doesn't take an expensive battery. The buttons are laid out intelligently and are intuitive to use. The strap will eventually break before the watch itself will. Though it has all the stop watch features, it's not too bulky. Also, it takes the time easily and keeps it.
