Dress 238 — long halter dress with cutout
Long halter dress pattern with a chest cutout and a deep side slit, in plain fabric, for party or gala collections.
Long halter-neck dress with a cutout that shows the center of the chest and straps that cross toward the back. The body is fitted at the waist with soft draping, and the skirt falls straight to the floor with a deep side slit.
For the smooth, weighty drape seen in the fabric, a lightweight gabardine or a satiny crepe suits it, holding the neckline cutout well without losing movement in the skirt. It sells in party and gala lines for adult women; reinforce the strap crossing at the back with an inner facing so it does not stretch with wear.
It comes in 8 sizes (XS to 4XL) with the industrial grading already done: pick the sizes you need on the product page, or buy the full size range in one go. Delivered as an A4 PDF to print at home and a true-scale plotter PDF (90, 120 or 150 cm wide); DXF/AAMA, Optitex (PDS), marker (MRK) or Audaces (ADS) files for cutting directly in CAD are available on request. Digital download within 24 hours of payment confirmation.
Professional sewing pattern for women, approved with a sewn sample, with the full industrial size range available. Sizes are chosen on the product page (the base price covers the standard size selection and each extra size adds a small surcharge); the CAD formats include the full size range.
