 Hi.  I am new to this, and don't quite know what or where to search.  I am looking for a free flowing dress pattern with short or cap sleeves; empire waist will do.  I don't like anything around my waistline, as I don't like to draw attention to it (trying to lose weight).  Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Re: Free Flowing Dress

 Dear joslu54,

You can draft the skirt and bodice block patterns as I show in the lessons, then not sew the darts. This will give you a looser fit. I suggest you first sew the dress out of muslin to do a test fit. This way if you choose to let out from the side seams you can see the result and make you adjustments to the patterns before cutting your fashion fabric.

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
