Please note: This PDF sewing pattern uses zero waste pattern cutting and comprises of instructions to draw shapes directly onto your fabric. With the exception of some printable templates, there are no large pattern pieces to print out and tape together. The cutting plan/templates document for the ZW Tier Dress requires printing of 15-18 pages in A4/US Letter Paper. 

This pattern comes with 10 size options, an XS-6XL (hip 86-152cm / 34"-60"), with all sizes included in the one pattern purchase. There is a separate cutting plan booklet for sizes XS-2XL and 3XL-6XL which include detailed measurements and templates.

*Please note this pattern is for personal and non-profit use only and is not intended for commercial use in any way. 

 

The Method

Zero waste pattern cutting is a bit like a puzzle. It is a method of pattern drafting where you utilise a length of fabric end to end by strategically planning your pattern pieces so that everything is used. This pattern does not require printing of large pattern pieces, instead you draw your pattern pieces directly onto your fabric with the aid of a cutting plan and templates. We love working with this method for 3 reasons:

1. More flexibility: This method allows for easy changes such as using different fabric widths and making simple fit and design changes yourself. Using patterns that fit into a zero waste square or rectangular block is a very efficient way to work. It means that it is easier to patchwork together remnants or use left over fabrics you already have lying around.

2. An easy way to learn to self draft your own patterns : Working this way will help you to start building a toolbox of skills, and you will learn an alternative method of self drafting your own sewing patterns, which are super easy for beginners to understand.

3. Less fabric and paper waste: Without having to print full scale paper patterns for all pieces you save on a lot of paper, and you will have little to no fabric waste during the cutting and sewing process!

Description

The ZW TIER DRESS is made up of 3 separate cutting plans which can be mixed and matched to make 4 different dresses. A short dress with thin straps, long dress with thin straps, short dress with sleeves and long dress with sleeves. If you are not using the sleeve then the strap for the dress will need to be cut from a contrast or remnant fabric. This dress has an above the bust self lined panel, the A-line dress below this is gathered on. There is also a bottom gathered tier that can be added to the dress and a gathered sleeve with an elasticated hem. The sleeve is hand sewn to the strap and underarm after the dress has been fully made. There are 2 different pattern layout options for this dress, which vary slightly depending on what size you are using.

The recommended fabric widths also vary depending on the size you are working with. Alternate pattern layouts are included in the instruction booklet if you are working with a fabric width outside of the recommended widths.

The best sunblock I've found!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion
I absolutely love this sunblock. I have sensory issues with any type of lotion and sunblock, but this stuff is incredible. It really is so lightweight that once it fully soaks in (which only take a few minutes) it feels as if there's nothing on my skin. This is huge for me, cause I just can't handle the feeling of any other sunblocks I've tried, even some more expensive brands. On top of all that, it definitely protects my skin from the sun, doesn't leave a white cast, and doesn't feel greasy while applying it.

My favorite sunscreen for being active outside
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion
I bought this last summer and now it's my go-to. I love it. It absorbs quickly, is very easy to just smear on, and has a nice, very light scent. I wear it when I go running and I sweat like a maniac so that tells you something.

Possibly the best sunscreen on the US market
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion
I'm a self-confessed sunscreen snob. I love trying new formulas, and I came to the conclusion years ago that US formulas aren't usually for me. We haven't had a new filter approved by the FDA since the last millennium, and our products reflect that. I can't tell you how many times I spent $40+ on 1.7oz of sunscreen that I ended up hating before I switched to mostly Korean sunscreens; and most of the US sunscreens I like can be described as "good...for a US formula." In short, I didn't have high hopes for this, and I was very pleasantly surprised. This is a very, very good sunscreen even among non-US formulas. It's lightweight, doesn't make my oily skin shiny, and dries down entirely so it doesn't feel tacky or slimy. I can layer over and over throughout the day without pilling or streaks. It also comes in a huge tube for a very low price. The only possible downside is that it's fragranced, which isn't a deal breaker for me. I wish they still sold the 3oz facial version because it's travel-friendly, but from what I can tell, it's the same formula. Try this, especially if you hate thick, heavy, shiny sunscreens. Unless you can't do fragrance, I think you will be very happy with it.

Favorite Sunscreen!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion
We absolutely love this SPF. It’s been our go-to for years. It does not make your skin feel sticky or crunchy. It goes on so smooth (like air!) and absorbs so well. It feels like the softest moisturizer. And it works! We get the two pack every summer. It’s also kinda hard to find. Amazon always comes through! Highly recommend.

Fave sunscreen!!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion
This is my absolute favorite sunscreen. It got my husband to finally start wearing sunscreen at work- it’s the only one he’ll wear. The texture feels so smooth and lightweight on my skin and it covers very well. It also smells delicious.
