Artista Dress by Sew Different

The Artista Dress is a loose fitting A-line shift dress. It has large pockets integrated into the seams of the front panels, gently dropped shoulders with inset sleeves and a back pleat for plenty of comfort across the shoulders. The softly rolled collar is reminiscent of an artist’s smock and it pulls on over the head with no need for a zip. \n \nThere are two options for the cutting layout – one with the fabric all running in the same direction, and the other, as shown on the front cover, with the yoke and lower panel cut at 90 degrees for an interesting change of direction – perfect for a stripe or directional patterned fabric. \n \nSUGGESTED FABRICS: denim, cotton, corduroy, linen, stable jerseys including double knit and scuba, and most other medium weight fabrics. \n \nFABRIC QUANTITY WITH FABRIC CUT ACROSS THE GRAIN IN SOME PANELS, AS SHOWN ON FRONT COVER: \n \nFabric 150cm / 60” WIDE • 2.75m / 3yds \n \n  \n \nFabric 112cm / 45” WIDE • 2.75m / 3yds \n \n  \n \nTOTAL FABRIC QUANTITY WITH FABRIC CUT ALONG THE GRAIN (ALL IN SAME DIRECTION) \n \n150cm / 60” WIDE • 2.5m / 2.75yds \n \n  \n \nFabric 112cm / 45” WIDE • 3.75m / 4yds
