The Tammy Dress is a relaxed, easy going style that is made for everyday comfort and playful movement.
Sew it up in light to medium weight woven fabrics, try cotton poplin, lawn, chambray or linen for crisp structure, or choose double gauze, viscose challis or crepe for a softer, drapier look. Your fabric choice lets you make Tammy as breezy or as polished as you like.
Design details include a loose, boxy bodice with a softly raised waist, gentle scoop neckline and set in short sleeves finished with a gathered ruffle above the elbow. The skirt features two gathered tiers for extra fullness and movement, and the pull on style means there are no fastenings required.
With its above knee length and comfortable fit, the Tammy Dress is suitable for confident beginners and can easily be customised in length or sleeve style to suit your own look.
About Minerva Exclusive Patterns
We are thrilled to be able to bring you Minerva Exclusive Patterns, our very own range of designs, created by sewists for sewists. We have worked with designers, dressmakers and pattern testers from around the world to bring you accessible, wearable designs that you will love to sew and add to your me made wardrobe.
We develop and test each style in two separate size ranges. Size group A-J has a bust range of 78-106cm and is drafted for a dressmakers B cup. Size group K-T has a bust range of 104-150cm and is drafted for a dressmakers D cup.
Minerva Exclusive patterns are available in both traditional paper and PDF digital formats.
Our printed patterns include a beautiful full colour instruction booklet, A0 pattern sheets and a woven label for you to add to your garment.
Our PDF digital patterns are available to download instantly after purchase from your Minerva account. They are not a physical product and you wont receive anything in the post. Our digital patterns include 3 formats. A tiled file that you can print out at home on A4 or US letter paper. An A0 copy shop file, so you can have your pattern printed onto large A0 sheets. A projector friendly file so you can trace your pattern directly onto fabric using a projector (no printing required), plus your instructions. All file types are layered patterns, so you can print all sizes or just the sizes you need and hide the rest. You will need Adobe Reader (free to download) to print at the correct scale.
The instruction booklets include links to inspiration for this pattern from the Minerva community and a top fabric picks video to help you in choosing the right fabric. As well as the instruction booklet, we also include a free sew along video to help guide you through the pattern from start to finish, with lots of helpful hints and tips along the way.
