Backless maxi dress

Beautiful maxi dress with large back neckline and tiered skirt
Descripcion
I'm so happy to finally be able to show you the pattern! I had to make a few alterations here, and had more prototypes than usual, but I'm so happy with the finished pattern. It fits super well, which it has to as you'll probably wear it without a bra. I love the large back neckline and the individual ‘tiers’ give the skirt a lot of volume. It's still relatively easy to sew, I'd say it's between level 2 and 3 in terms of difficulty, but I decided to go for 3 for the sake of expectations. If you don't have a pattern in it (and can therefore cut out the skirt parts vertically), 2 metres of fabric will also suffice. However, this is all explained in detail in the video and in the instructions. If you have any questions, feel free to comment on the YouTube video and I'll try to answer as quickly as possible. And as always, I'm really looking forward to your versions, so pleeease tag me if you post something :)
Scope
The download includes a .zip file containing the following files:

Materials
You need a certain amount of basic equipment for all sewing projects. This usually consists of
- Sewing machine
- Yarn in the matching color
- Fabric scissors
- Thread scissors
- Tailor's chalk
- Printer to print out the pattern, ruler to check the measurements and a pair of scissors.
You also need the following materials specifically for this project:
cm
| MATERIAL | Fabric width | EU 32 | EU 34 | EU 36 | EU 38 | EU 40 | EU 42 | EU 44 | EU 46 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Outer fabric
|
140 cm | 175 cm | 180 cm | 190 cm | 200 cm | 210 cm | 220 cm | 230 cm | 240 cm |
|
Elastic band
|
5 cm | 30 cm | 30 cm | 30 cm | 30 cm | 30 cm | 30 cm | 30 cm | 30 cm |
Fabric choice
In general, you are quite free in the choice of fabric. That's the beauty of sewing your own garment. But since fabrics differ in strength, elasticity, stiffness, and many other properties, here are a few fabrics with which the garment works particularly well:
- Cotton
- Viscose

Hey! I’d love to download size 52 as per the size chart but it’s showing greyed out. Are you planning to update that soon, or is this dress not available on this size? Thank you!! 💚

The yellow version on your Instagram has an almost lace up style back. Can you do that back on this dress?

Hi, I've already heard that sometimes it doesn't work to download the pattern on a mobile phone. It's best to try it on your PC and check whether you are using a VPN or similar. Sometimes security systems also block the download as it is a .zip file (pattern, instructions, layout). Best regards and if it still doesn't work for anyone, please write to me by email or on Instagram. Julia

Hi Lucy, First time trying out one of your patterns, am I doing something wrong that the largest few sizes are not able to be downloaded? Thanks!
