Valentina Dress PDF Sewing Pattern

The Valentina is the perfect elegant-while-staying-comfortable dress. It features a lined princess seam bodice with an elastic back panel and adjustable straps. The elastic panel is not only a beautiful detail but also provides the flexibility and comfort to wear this dress all day long, even during times when your body might be changing. The Valentina dress also comes with two skirt options: a gathered skirt and a half circle skirt. Both skirt styles offer two length options, one ending above the knee and the other at the ankle.
