Fit and flare dresses are classic for a reason – and now there’s a pattern that comes in cup sizes, too, so it’ll actually fit! The Upton Dress has a fitted bodice with round or v-neck options for the front and back necklines, and two skirts: one gored, and one pleated. It has a lined bodice and an invisible zipper, and is great for confident beginners and beyond.
Plus, with the new Upton Dress & Skirt plus Mix & Match Expansion, you can turn the Upton into over 350 dress and skirt combinations!
This sewalong takes you through the construction step-by-step of both the classic Upton and the Upton expansion, with comprehensive photographs and instructions to accompany the pattern instructions.
