Bronte Woven Dress

The Bronte Woven Dress sewing pattern is a modern design with clean lines and statement shaping. Choose between a round neck or V-neck, and a sleeveless option or elbow-length sleeves with an extended shoulder line for versatile year-round wear. A centre back invisible zip creates a polished finish, while the pleated waist adds soft volume and an exaggerated silhouette for a contemporary look.
Featuring a slight A-line skirt, optional inseam pockets, shorten/lengthen lines for a customised fit, and a flattering midi-length hem, bronte is perfect for creating a modern handmade dress in your favourite woven fabrics.
Please note: the elbow-length sleeve version of Bronte is designed as a semi-formal dress, featuring an architectural silhouette. To achieve this sculptural shape, the fit results in a reduced range of arm movement.
