DIY Dior-Inspired Maxi Dress with Mandarin Collar & Bishop Sleeves + Sewing Pattern

Hi everyone! In this video I’ll show you how to sew this gorgeous mandarin collar, bishop sleeve, front placket maxi dress from a lovely chiffon.

I’m using my Audrey PDF downloadable sewing pattern, get it here:

Here are the materials you’ll need:
2.35-5.5 m (2.5-6 yds) of woven fabric (depends on the length of the dress).5 m (.6 yds) interfacing
Loop turner tool
4-6 buttons for the cuffs and closure
matching thread
glasshead pins
scissors
measurement tape
Audrey pattern

Originally I made this dress using a patterned chiffon, and for this tutorial I’ll be using a lilac gray chiffon. It has such a beautiful flow and drape, so it’s absolutely perfect for this elegant dress.

I recommend using a light-medium weight woven fabric such as cotton lawn, viscose, silk, chiffon, or georgette.
