The Sydney Dress By Designer Stitch Patterns

Have you seen the new Sydney dress from Designer Stitch patterns. Sydney is perfect for your flowy woven fabrics, I used this beautiful viscose from www.abcfabric.co.uk to create my dress. I used the shorten length but also comes in a longer length as well, short sleeves and pockets. You do have the option to make longer sleeves as well. Has a button up bodice to easy to get on. I love how this turned out, and thinking with some tights and boots will make a great winter dress as well.

Design Details:
Sydney features a beautifully drafted two‑piece shirt collar crisp, clean, and perfect for showcasing your favourite cottons, linens, or yarn‑dyed stripes.
The front shoulder princess panels create gentle shaping through the bodice, while the separate button wrap adds a tailored finish and makes construction approachable for confident beginners and seasoned sewists alike. A back yoke anchors the shirt‑style design, offering structure and a smooth fit across the shoulders.
Below the bodice, Sydney flows into a two‑layer gathered tiered skirt, creating soft movement and a flattering drape whether you choose the 60cm or 80cm length.

Sleeve Options
Sydney includes three sleeve styles, making it a pattern you’ll return to again and again:

Long sleeve with placket + cuff for a classic shirt‑dress look
3/4 sleeve with soft elastic hem for relaxed ease
Short sleeve for warm‑weather simplicity

Each option is thoughtfully drafted for comfort, movement, and a polished finish.

Lengths & Fit
Choose between 60cm and 80cm lengths to suit your style from a breezy everyday dress to a more dramatic tiered silhouette. The bodice offers gentle shaping through the princess seams, while the skirt provides relaxed movement without bulk.
