Here is a simple pattern to create a V-neck shift dress:
1. Take your measurements for the dress, including bust, waist, hips, and desired length. Use these measurements to create a basic shift dress pattern. You can find free patterns online or draft your own.
2. Cut out the front and back pieces of the dress, making sure to leave extra fabric for seam allowances.
3. With right sides facing, sew the shoulder seams together.
4. Fold the neckline inwards and pin in place. Sew a straight stitch along the V-neckline to secure it.
5. Sew the side seams together, starting from the bottom hem and ending at the armholes.
6. Hem the bottom of the dress to your desired length.
7. Finish the armholes with a narrow hem or bias tape.
8. Try on the dress and make any necessary adjustments to the fit.
9. Press all seams and hems to give the dress a polished look.
And there you have it - your very own V-neck shift dress! Feel free to customize the dress with embellishments, such as pockets or a belt, to make it your own.
