The Solig Dress is a simple dress with a sleek silhouette, suitable for beginners as well as advanced sewists. View A features an elastic back and feels more secure around the bust than View B which has a slightly scooped gathered back with ties. Both views have a gently curved front neckline with side seam bust darts and thin straps. You can choose to make a maxi length version with or without side seam slits, or a mini version. The neckline is finished with a facing that covers your entire bust. The instructions will walk you through installing elastic in the facing hem to make it into a low support built-in-bralette, if you so choose.

This pattern will teach you some fun techniques including:
✿ French seams
✿ Elastic channel
✿ French seam slits
✿ Turning thin straps

FABRIC RECOMMENDATIONS
This pattern is made for woven fabrics and the look of it will change a lot depending on the fabric you choose. A crepe will make it date night ready, whereas a linen or cotton will make it the perfect everyday summer dress. Other favorites include seersucker for ultimate coolness, cotton poplin for a crisp and billowy silhouette, or any rayon/tencel for a beautiful drape. If choosing a thicker fabric, like linen, you may want to use a matching, lighter weight fabric for the facing/bralette.

Suitable fiber compositions include:
✿ Rayon/Tencel/Lyocell
✿ Linen
✿ Cotton
✿ Silk

Suitable weaves include:
✿ Twill
✿ Challis

Lovely, but not enough support for larger chests

This pattern was lovely to sew, instructions were great. I wasn’t careful enough when first attaching the straps, so had to unpick them and fix that. The only reason I dropped a star is because I found the bralette not supportive enough for my larger chest (DD). I even used a 3/4 inch elastic, but it didn’t seem to make much difference. What did finally help was adding some padding, because it redistributed the weight more evenly, and the tiny straps didn’t feel like they were pulling so hard. If I make it again, I’ll try sewing in some actual bra cups instead of just placing them inside the bralette (as I did).

Nice summer dress

I really like the dress I made with this pattern - it makes me feel pretty! :) I made the long version, with slits on both sides and the tie-back. Two small construction notes: the opening of the tie channel in the back isn't finished on the edge, and the tie tends to slide off my shoulders. Neither is a big deal, and I think both could be fixed with a bit of thought, even by a beginner sewist like me. I'm already planning to make a short version for next summer too.

Nice pattern, good fit

Nice pattern, good fit. Very well explained in text and drawings.

Great dress! Honestly had to make it twice to better understand all parts of the process

Great dress! Honestly had to make it twice to better understand all parts of the process. “Advanced beginner” but it seems like a few steps are missing and you have to guess and go along as you sew…. Online videos are really helpful

It’s a great dress pattern and easy to follow instructions

It’s a great dress pattern and easy to follow instructions. I wish there was a video tutorial but it’s not necessary to make the dress. There is more ease in the dress then expected so I have to take mine apart to resize it, but that’s on me since I made a larger size to be cautious. I am also 6’ tall and the mini version is a bit short, but I only had enough fabric to make the standard length, so consider adding 0.5”- 1” to the length of the mini if you are tall.
