The Christina Dress is a wardrobe essential that combines timeless charm with everyday comfort. With its flowing A line skirt and semi fitted bodice, this pull on skater dress is designed to flatter a variety of shapes while remaining effortlessly wearable. Whether paired with boots for a casual outing or dressed up with heels for a polished look, Christina transitions seamlessly from day to night.

Ideal for light medium weight stretch knit fabrics like jersey, French terry or scuba, this dress offers both ease of movement and a sleek, polished fit, all while being beginner friendly.

Design details include a round neckline finished with a band, princess seams at the front and back for shaping, long set in sleeves and a hemline that falls just above the knee. The pull on style eliminates the need for closures, making it quick and simple to sew.

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.
