Gala Dress — long gala dress with a plunging neckline
Long gala dress pattern with a plunging neckline and an open back, for party lines and evening gown rental collections.
A fitted mermaid silhouette with the back open to the waist and a pronounced neckline, with embroidered appliques along the body in one of the variants and full embroidery with translucent edges in the other. The length reaches the floor with a flare at the hem.
It builds well in a woven with shine, such as satin or embroidered tulle over a crepe base, which give a firm drape and support at the bust. It is a high-value piece for party and gala rental lines, and it is best offered in a few premium colors so as not to spread the stock. The neckline and open back call for a close-fitting inner lining to hold the garment on the body.
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.
