12 Beautiful Party Dresses to Sew This Festive Season

The Scarlett Dress is the perfect accompaniment to an evening of mulled wine and classical carols for our classy Christmas sewists. A long-length, A-line silhouette with flared sleeves, it’s a timeless look that you need in your special occasion wardrobe.

Give your party dress a pop of excitement by choosing a contrasting fabric for the waist panels.

For our party gals, you’ll love the Chloe Dress sewing pattern with its bow-effect bust, form-fitting silhouette, and optional side slit.

Choose between a mini or midi length depending on your style, and pair with your favourite heels for a winning party look.

We’re having visions of this dress in a Red Cotton Velour - oh la la!

The Sicily Slip party dress sewing pattern is one of our favourite choices for events throughout the year. Cut on the bias, it has a wonderful drape and a romantic, floaty hemline.

Make this dress your own by choosing your strap widths, neckline, and dress length for a versatile piece that’ll take you from the festive season to summer with ease.

We love to reduce wardrobe waste, which is why the Sienna Dress makes us so very, very happy!

We’d typically say this is a summer piece, but the relaxed fit and wide straps make it easy-peasy to layer, so you can add a long-sleeve turtleneck underneath or pop a knitted jumper over the top for laid-back party glam. (P.S. - it also has pockets!!)

The Aalto dress sewing pattern can be made into a very glamorous, full-length dress or a super cute top, depending on your vibe this festive season.

With a loose-fitting silhouette and the option for either a low, scooped back or a girly bow, it’s a unique look that’s bound to turn heads for all the right reasons.

Prefer a more fitted silhouette? Use a belt or ribbon to pull the waist in - et voila!

Flutter sleeves, a fitted bodice, and the twirliest skirt we ever did see; she’s a real-life princess! The Sandeep Dress is an ultra-girly look that can be sewn either as a short-sleeved dress or a skirt, giving you plenty of wardrobe options.

The multi-tiered skirt is perfect for a little NYE boogie, and we can see this being easily dressed up or down throughout the year.

The No.1174 Dress sewing pattern is a chic statement piece that’ll add plenty of life to your special occasion wardrobe. A fitted waist is contrasted with dropped shoulders, wide sleeves, and a structured skirt, while the round neckline softens the look.

We love the styling by Grasser on this one; you can’t go wrong with a pair of black tights and some fierce knee-high boots.

She’s classic, she’s romantic, and she’s oh-so-beautiful. The Grace Party Dress sewing pattern has it all!

We simply adore the shoulder bow ties, which flow perfectly into the square neckline and fitted bodice. A higher waistline elongates the legs, so it’ll look a dream on both shorter and taller sewists.

There’s also a handy video tutorial you can follow for an easier sew.

Whether you’re having a night on the town or going on a festive date, dress to impress in the Tia Dress. A classic, long-sleeve bodycon, this is a wardrobe staple that you’ll be reaching for throughout the year.

The gathered front adds a little flair, and you can’t go wrong with a pair of chunky black books and your favourite layered jewellery.
