This is a paper pattern for a simple dress with tapered A-line silhouette and short fitted sleeves - an easy-wear classic. Features two versions – Dress or T-shirt. The Camber dress will quickly become a favourite in your pattern library - it can be lengthened or shortened, made in a host of fabrics and has fantastic wearability. (And attention, knitters: This dress is perfect under a cardigan and, come to it, could look smashing under a bulky jumper, too.)

This is a multi-size paper pattern in an envelope, including sizes 8-18 and 20-28. Seam allowances are included in the pattern at 1.5cm, unless otherwise stated. It's cleverly constructed with details that will reward your close attention and encourage you to make a few versions in different fabrics.
