Backless maxi dress
Backless maxi dress
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 :)

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
Size chart
Before you decide on a size, please check the main measurements. These are your own body measurements, not those of the finished garment.

| EU 32 | 76 cm | 62 cm | 86 cm |
| EU 34 | 80 cm | 65 cm | 90 cm |
| EU 36 | 84 cm | 68 cm | 94 cm |
| EU 38 | 88 cm | 72 cm | 97 cm |

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
