Buy the Helios Dress sewing pattern from Atelier Scämmit. The v-neck and cinched waist of this sundress create a feminine appearance, whilst the pretty butterfly sleeves add a floaty look. On the back, the waist is elasticated and a drawstring (selected according to taste) runs through to the front where it is tied. The two sleeve lengths and the three dress lengths make it a very versatile item, ranging from a little beach dress to an elegant cocktail outfit.
