I am Cinderella, a sewing pattern with multiple possibilities. I come in two lengths: a dress and a blouse. You can choose between 4 different sleeve finishes: a sleeveless version, a short sleeve, a short sleeve with ruffles and a short sleeve with double gather bands. I have a V-neckline, in-seam pockets for the dress version and I am very loose fitting. Try me on with a belt for a more feminine silhouette. Whichever version you choose, my simplicity and comfort will charm you.

This pattern was designed in collaboration collaboration with Cindy from @ledressingdecindy during her participation in the pattern making training taught by Marie-Emilienne, our designer. They have worked together to offer a simple pattern, with multiple variations and accessible to beginners.

THE COLLAB

I AM Cinderella has been designed in collaboration with Cindy from @ledressingdecindy during the second week of pattern drafting training with Marie-Emilienne, our designer. They wanted a simple pattern so beginners could sew it and with lots of variations.

I AM Cinderella features 2 lengths and 4 sleeve finishes and is loose fitting which makes it very comfortable. What’s more, it is as easy to make as it is to wear.

The blouses will be perfect for the office. Add a belt and wear it on a night out with your girlfriends or on a date. And the sleeveless versions really calls for a sunny holidays.

Marie-Emilienne and Cindy are looking forward to seeing all the versions you are going to make.

FORMATS

PAPER PATTERN

All seam allowances are included in the pattern.

The pattern is enclosed in an envelope. It contains the sewing pattern along with a step-by-step illustrated explanation guide.

The different pieces overlap with each other so you will need to trace the pattern on paper. If you prefer a ready-to-cut pattern, try the pdf version as pieces do not overlap with each other.
