Maia — Dress with Short Sleeves, Dress with Long Sleeves, Blouse, Type - Premium Paper, Single Size - 10 to 16
Description:
The Maia pattern features a simple, figure-flattering sheath dress & top that you will reach for often. The bias-cut, A-line dress has bust darts and several seamed panels for shaping and fullness in just the right places. No fussy closures are needed — the dress simply pulls over the head with an ample V-neckline. The length grazes the knee, or just below, with a generous flouncing fullness at the hem. For the dress length, choose the short-sleeve option or the long-sleeve with the waist tie. The blouse-length version has a rounded neckline and short sleeve.

Hi! The free PDF patterns are towards the bottom of this page and the following pages. Starting with the Sara pants pattern. They won't have a price listed under them. Have a great day!
I think the pattern is well done, but since I am unsure of the size, I will probably make this out of unbleached muslin first. It will be a process, but I don't want to cut into this pattern until I am sure which one fits me.
I fell in love with this pattern as soon as I saw it. I just had to try it . I knew it was going to be a challenge as I'd only done one other bias cut dress before but didn't realize that I had cut it wrong. What a mess! The directions for this pattern were very clear and easy to follow. It came together so easily too. The sizing is also good. It turned out great! Very comfortable and drapes nicely. I used Blue Bonnet signature finish mid-weight. Lots of compliments
Size 12 was perfect except I had to lower bust darts...first time for everything. Had made it first as a top using redbud linen. Fabric from this site. Made it specifically for a tea our circle attends every summer. Will pair with black wide brimmed hat and double strand black beads. My husband was impressed. I have silky multicolored fabric to make another top, sleeveless and with black fabric as in this photo. I copied pattern with pellon pattern paper in case I have to size up or down in the future.
