Fibre Mood - TAMMY Dress Sewing Pattern

Tammy is love at first sight and reminds us of the Edith blouse, Paulette blouse, and Rosie dress. This dress (or pinafore, if you like!) needs little introduction with its sleek A-line cut and V-shaped ruffled bodice detail. The ruffle draws attention to the waist, and the ties in the side panels give the option for extra waist definition. You’ve got options galore – make Tammy a pinafore or a dress with tied 3/4-length sleeves. What do you think...mini, midi, or maxi? Tammy’s neckline has a clean bias tape finish. A concealed zip down the back adds the final touch. This dress is well worth the time investment.

Fabric suggestions 

A soft drape fabric, e.g. woven viscose or chambray, will give the ruffle a graceful, gentle look. That keeps the volume to a minimum. A stiff fabric, e.g. fine wale corduroy, velvet, poplin, broderie anglaise, and lyocell (semi-stiff), will pump up the volume, adding ‘wings’.
