Vivian Shao Chen Terra Dress Sewing Pattern PDF
The Vivian Shao Chen Terra Dress is an easy-wearing shirt dress, with a front button placket, collar stand and fall. The sleeves are slightly dropped sleeves. There are two views: (A) one with more romantic detailing and silhouette, and the other (B) with a more structured and straight line silhouette. The bodices and sleeves of both views are interchangeable. If you choose, you may use the sleeve design of View A with the bodice design of View B, and vice versa.
A physical print out of the instruction booklet will NOT be included. You can view the instruction booklet on your device at home, print it out at home, or add the 'printed pattern instructions' product (see link below) to your order and we will print it for you.
View A: Intermediate, view B: advanced beginner. Both views require sewing a yoke, a collar, and a button placket. All other techniques are beginner-level garment sewing.

Fabric
The Terra Dress is designed for midweight wovens and lightweight wovens. You may use any fibre, keeping in mind that each will produce different draping effects. The samples shown in the promotional photographs are sewn with 100% linen. For fabrics with patterning such as stripes or a tartan, keep in mind that extra fabric may be needed for pattern matching.
