About this product
This is a PDF Sewing Pattern which you will have to print.
Please note: This is an add-on sewing pattern for the Rita Dress. You must purchase the Rita Dress Sewing Pattern separately to make the complete dress.
Enjoy wearing your favourite Rita Dress all year round with the Rita Dress Sleeves Sewing Pattern by Faith-Rowan Leeves. Designed especially to complement the vintage-inspired Rita Dress, these beautiful detachable sleeves add a little extra coverage while keeping the dress's wonderfully versatile character.
The sleeves are cleverly designed to thread onto the existing ties of the Rita Dress, allowing you to transform your sleeveless summer favourite into a lovely outfit for cooler days. With their gathered shape and elasticated cuffs, they add a soft, romantic finish while remaining comfortable to wear.
Available in two sizes, the sleeves feature elastic beneath the arm and at the cuffs, making the fit flexible and easy to wear. They're a brilliant addition to your handmade wardrobe, giving you even more ways to enjoy your Rita Dress throughout the seasons.
The pattern includes Faith's Making Method, with illustrated instructions and practical techniques developed through her experience creating slow fashion garments.
