FREE Dress patterns listing

By | | , , , ,

Featuring a list of free dress sewing patterns and tutorials, all with photos and links. Much of my early sewing has been thrifty – most of my fabric comes from the remnant and clearance bin at my local fabric shop, and many of the patterns have been self drafted or free patterns from the internet.  It's a great way to start out when you are learning and don't want to invest too much in something that might turn out not quite as you are hoping ! So Sew Easy - huge list of free dress patterns with photos and links So here you go with a big listing of FREE DRESS PATTERNS.  At the time of publishing – 65 in all, but I will continue to add to the page as I find more.  Hover over the picture to see the title – right click and open in a new tab to go to the pattern page while keeping this page open.

So Sew Easy: A Gazillion FREE Sewing Patterns

So Sew Easy: A Gazillion FREE Sewing Patterns

[Last updated on 30 April 2016]

Graffiti dress
Tank-style dress with narrow shoulders, scoop neckline at front and a cool v-neckline in the back.  Narrow band to accentuate your waist and a full circle skirt for plenty of feminine swing while you walk.  A full video tutorial and multi-sized pattern makes this the perfect dress for your next vacation.
Fit and Flare dress
A simple but flattering fit and flare dress. It’s got a scooped neck, short sleeves and design lines front and back for a negative ease fitting in the bust, close fit in the body and then softly flared out skirt from the hips down. Those design lines front and back can really help you to get a nice fit.
Perfect for work dress
A smart figure hugging dress with interesting optional color blocking details. Something for work and formal occasions, but which could also be a date-night dress too. It’s easy to sew, comfy to wear. You don’t have to make yours as figure-hugging as mine. Just go up a size or cut between sizes for a little bit more ease if you prefer a loose fit.
Empire of the Sun-Dress
Summer is here! Time for more summer dresses and here is my Empire of the Sun-Dress. It has a cross-over bodice front and back, and an elastic fitted empire-line waist, and a softly gathered skirt. Pull it on and go – it’s actually reversible! The front and the back are the same.
Two become One Dress
Need a comfy every day dress? One that looks good no matter where you go, and one that can take on the look of separates or be sewn in the same fabric throughout? Then the Two Become One Dress is for you. I became fascinated with this style of dress just recently. I love the casual look, like a t-shirt and a skirt, but without the fuss of having to make sure both matching pieces are clean and ironed at the same time (lazy I know). Now I can just grab it off the hanger, slip it over my head and rush on out – anywhere.
Cross My Heart Dress
This dress has crossover pleated drapes from the shoulders that are caught into the side seams just under the arms. It creates a modest v-neckline and frames the face, hanging loose from the bust to emphasise the smaller waist. It’s certainly unique! Plus, its a very quick and simple sew. Bonus!
Little Black party dress
Party season is coming! It’s time to think about what you’ll wear for the holiday season this year. Want to wow them at the office party? Then you’ll need something ‘on-trend’ and with lace, one-shoulder and asymmetrical dresses all being in fashion, I’ve combined to create a free little black dress pattern that I think is a winner.
Wrap dress
The latest free sewing pattern from So Sew Easy is this cute wrap dress pattern. The front has a cross-over bodice with pleats, there’s a straight skirt and an optional elastic waist, with a matching tie belt. Only the bodice wraps over leaving you safe from embarrassing wardrobe malfunction that can happen with wrap skirts. In sizes small to extra large, easy to sew, and really flattering and comfortable to wear. You'll love this dress!
Wear Everywhere Easy Knit Dress
Easy Summer Dress
Easy summer dress pattern using a knit fabric and with different strap options. Multi-size pattern in small, medium and large with instruction for increasing or decreasing size. Dress has a ruched bust-line on the outside, supported on the inside with a second layer of unruched fabric. Empire waist gently skims over the hips for a flattering fit. Can be any length, above or below knee, mini or cut off at hips for a tunic.

Does anyone know how to make or have a similar pattern to the white chiffon dress Elizabeth Taylor wears in the film “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.” I am in desperate need of some pointers, help, or a like pattern.

Thanks for compiling this list. Some lovely, stylish, patterns but not all of them are FREE – simply links to pattern-selling sites.

Hi Val. All were free at the time of adding them into the listing, but sometimes things change, and a pattern that used to be free, the designer now decides to make a charge. Its not always possible for me to go back and check this regularly to pick up all of those changes. Sorry for the disappointment.

Hi Linda, I did find Peppermint Magazine and they have some interesting patterns, but its a bit difficult to link to with everything just all on the same page. I’ll give it some thought and try to work out the best way to link. Thanks for the suggestion.

You ROCK! I can only imagine the time you had to put into this project. Thank you so much for sharing.
I hate buying patterns, cause it seems I never get the right size or fit. I figure why pay for a pattern that I am going to have to alter anyways? Because of this reason I usually search for free patterns online. Again, thank you so much for sharing. Pinning, then on my way to follow your Pinterest board.
