THIS BEAUTIFUL NECKLINE! My LOVE for Concave bust darts. 3 Recoleta dresses (Itch to Stitch).

I’ve pulled out my favorite woven fabrics to make 3 gorgeous dresses! This is the new Recoleta dress pattern from Itch to Stitch and it’s a great classic style with an amazing fit. The neckline features a round and a V shape that I love and you don’t need too much fabric… yay!

I am sharing details on how to sew this entire gorgeous neckline, step by step and also why concave bust darts are so important for a great fit!

The Recoleta dress from Itch to Stitch (00-40US, A-DD cup sizes) is 20% OFF through the 5th of May. This is my affiliate link:

DISCLAIMER: I had access to the PDF pattern as a tester in exchange for sewing a muslin and providing feedback on fit an instructions. I don't have a fabric sponsor. I produce sewing content independently from pattern brands and share my unique way of sewing with you, with my own investment of resources. I don’t necessarily follow instructions rigidly. My opinions are honest, especially around fit and sewing techniques.
