Dress Selena — short dress with a plunging neckline

Short red dress pattern with a deep V neckline and a pleated flared skirt, designed for party and night-out lines.

The dress has thin straps, a very pronounced V neckline that reaches the waist and a short skirt with pleats that make a small balloon-style sweep. The fabric has an even satin sheen.

For the shine and the drape with body, work it in satin or crepe with a light interfacing in the skirt to hold the pleats. It is a strong piece in party and night-out lines, pairs with small handbags, and the skirt pleats should be pressed in before sewing the waist.

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.
