Hey June Charleston Dress PDF Pattern

The Charleston from Hey June is a foxy dress in two views. View A features an A-line skirt with deep scooped pockets, front pleats, and back darts, while the streamlined View B has a slimmer silhouette with pencil skirt-style panels. With an amazing seven sleeve length options, you can make a Charleston dress for any occasion year-round: choose from sleeveless, ruffle sleeves, square sleeves, short sleeves, elbow sleeves, 3/4 sleeves, or long sleeves for both views. Despite the body-hugging shape, this knit design is surprisingly comfortable! The pattern comes with several tips for lengthening, shortening, and grading between sizes, and the nature of the knit fabric will also help in providing you with the best fit for your body. Both views have an optional semi exposed zipper in the back. Whether you sew up a casual floral version with a cute ruffle sleeve or a sleeveless little black dress with stretch faux leather paneling, your Charleston will be easy to sew, easy to wear, and super comfy!
