*This is a Digital Sewing Pattern, not a Physical Paper Pattern*
The Amélie Dress is an intermediate to advanced level pattern meant to test your skills as a sewist! It has a few tricky bits, but for those brave enough to jump right in, you are sure to walk away with a stunning new dress with the ultimate twirl factor. The Amélie Dress was crafted to be your go-to summer dress with a few special details.
