Description

The City Dress Sewing Pattern by Wardrobe by Me is a modern, easy-to-wear dress with a relaxed A-line shape and above-the-knee length. Designed for everyday comfort, it features decorative seamlines that add subtle structure and a clean contemporary look.

Two versions are included. View A has elbow-length wide sleeves and a stylish notched neckline, while View B is sleeveless with a deep V-neckline.
