The Betty Dress
With a 1950s fit-and-flair silhouette, the Sew Over It best-selling Betty Dress is super flattering for all figures, nipping you in at the waist and flaring out to a full circle skirt.
The Betty Dress was inspired by founder Lisa's favourite 1950s fashion icons: Mad Men’s Betty Draper. With a fitted bodice and full circle skirt, Betty is super flattering for all figures, nipping you in at the waist and flaring out to create a beautiful silhouette. The dress fastens with an invisible zip down the centre back, has facings around the neckline and armholes and a machine finished hem.
The pattern is so popular that Sew Over It produced a special Betty Dress Add-on Pack. This add-on pack allows you to change up the original boat neckline of our ever-popular Betty Dress sewing pattern to either a V-neck or scooped neck, both with or without 3/4 length sleeves. With newly drafted pattern pieces for the bodice fronts, you just swap the original pattern pieces for the new ones with no extra pattern drafting or adjusting to be done. All the work has been done for you.
Perfect for summer parties, the Betty Dress looks great dressed up with heels. It’s perfect for a day at the races or as a wedding guest outfit. With longer sleeves it’s a perfect make for Christmas parties and family get-togethers. You can choose the right neckline to suit you too, so it’s a dress you’ll wear party-in party-out.
The pattern contains full instructions with beautifully illustrated diagrams.
