Buy the Emory Dress sewing pattern from Vikisews. Emory is a close-fitting dress with an asymmetrical front. It features six stitched pleats along the left side seam, from the bust line to the hip line, with the bust darts transferred to the pleats. On the back, the shoulder darts have been transferred to the neckline, and the waist has waist darts. The centre back seam has an invisible zipper fastening at the top and a slit at the bottom. The neckline is round, and the shoulder line is slightly increased and widened to accommodate shoulder pads. The long set-in sleeve has a vertical elbow dart. The front and back of the dress are lined. The front and back hemlines are asymmetrical and are finished with facings. Emory is below-the-knee length, slightly shorter on the left side than on the right.
