Bette Dress – Free sewing patterns – Sew Magazine

Long-time readers of Sew may fondly remember our Bette dress from our earliest issue, a gorgeous 50s style frock with a nipped in waist and five panel skirt, sewn in a red polka dot fabric. With our 100th issue upon us, we decided to bring back this blast from the past for those who missed it the first time round – not only does it look great, it also provides the opportunity to try sewing a concealed zip and adding a net underskirt for added fullness.
