CINDERELLA
LEVEL: SIMPLE
I am Cinderella, a sewing pattern with multiple possibilities. I come in two lengths: a dress and a blouse. You can choose between 4 different sleeve finishes: a sleeveless version, a short sleeve, a short sleeve with ruffles and a short sleeve with double gather bands. I have a V-neckline, in-seam pockets for the dress version and I am very loose fitting. Try me on with a belt for a more feminine silhouette. Whichever version you choose, my simplicity and comfort will charm you.
This pattern was designed in collaboration with Cindy from @ledressingdecindy during her participation in the pattern making training taught by Marie-Emilienne, our designer. They have worked together to offer a simple pattern, with multiple variations and accessible to beginners.
