PDF by Masin Sewing Pattern- Cloud Dress

CLOUD is a versatile ruffle top and dress design inviting you to play with adding and removing tiers. You can make a top by only attaching the first tier, a midi dress with two tiers, or a floor-length gown by adding a third tier. CLOUD is the perfect pattern for beginners – you’ll learn how to sew a neckline facing and how to become a pro at making gathers.

Fit and size:

Choose your size based on your bust measurement. This dress is an oversized look. The recommended positive ease is 2–3"/5–8 cm at the bust.

Anastasia Lapsuy is 56"/142 cm tall and wears the CLOUD top in size 5, Ajak Majok is 66"/168 cm tall and wears the CLOUD midi dress in size 2 and Jasmin Henzi is 172cm/68” tall and wears the hacked CLOUD mini dress in size 2.

Fabric recommendations:

CLOUD works best in non-stretch, light to medium weight woven fabrics. I prefer a stiff cotton fabric for this piece as it can hold its voluminous shape. Choose a rayon/viscose fabric if you want a more romantic, flowy look. You can also make the CLOUD dress in a sheer fabric such as chiffon and wear it over a simple slip dress for a more elegant look.

The gingham sample dress is made from “Garden Party Olive” (52% linen/48% cotton, 6.19 oz/210 gsm) and the petrol blue sample is made from “Organic Cotton Poplin Diesel” (3.7 oz/125 gsm). Both fabrics are by Merchant & Mills from Lilly Paris. The flower sample is made from floral polyester jacquard from Nuances Fabrics.
