One Shoulder Diagonal Seam Dress

Introducing a women's sewing pattern for a chic one-shoulder dress, featuring striking diagonal color-blocking and a playful shoulder bow detail.

When To Wear

This dress is designed for effortless style and comfort, making it an ideal choice for:

  • Summer Gatherings: Its light feel and stylish design make it perfect for garden parties or casual outdoor events.
  • Daytime Chic: An effortless choice for brunches, shopping trips, or relaxed outings where comfort meets fashion.
  • Vacation Wear: Comfortable and fashionable for resort wear or sightseeing in warmer climates.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: a relaxed, straight shift silhouette that falls above the knee.

Neckline: Asymmetric one-shoulder neckline, featuring a decorative self-fabric bow on the wearer's right shoulder.

Seaming: The front panel is characterized by multiple diagonal seams, ideal for creating a dynamic color-blocked design.

Waist: Unstructured waistline, allowing for a comfortable, relaxed fit.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Involves accurately sewing multiple diagonal seams in knit fabrics, constructing a self-fabric neckline facing, and finishing a shoulder bow.

Fabric Recommendations

Ideal for knit fabrics with medium stretch, allowing for comfort and ease of wear:

  • Medium-stretch knit fabrics in 3 complementary colors (natural or blended fibers)

Additional Supplies

No additional notions are required.

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: Hem allowance - 2 cm; armhole allowance 1.5 cm; all other seams 1 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match! Attention! Markings on the patterns are given on the right side.

  • Top 1:
    • Front 1 – 1 piece
    • Front 4 - 1 piece
  • Top 2:
    • Front 2 – 1 piece
    • Front 5 – 1 piece
  • Top 3:
    • Front 3 – 1 piece
    • Right Back – 1 piece
    • Left Back – 1 piece
    • Neckline Facing – 1 piece

Sewing Instructions

Tip: Cut pieces from knit fabrics are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. The hem allowance is stitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlocker.

  1. Mark and stitch the dart on Front 1. Trim the excess with an overlocker.
  2. Stitch all princess seams of the front. Finish the allowances.
  3. Stitch the center back seam. Finish the allowance.
  4. Stitch the side seams and shoulder seam.
  5. Finish the armhole edge, fold inwards and topstitch.
  6. Fold the facing in half lengthwise and stitch the ends, strictly to the marks (on both sides). Clip the allowances and attach to the neckline of the back and front.
  7. Finish the bottom edge of the dress. Fold the allowance inwards and topstitch. Tie a bow.
