You can never have too many maxi dresses! These free maxi dress patterns and tutorials make it easy to make one yourself.
Summer is coming and that means it is maxi dress season! I love a good maxi dress because it is so versatile. You can wear it as a beach swimsuit cover-up, out in the evenings for dinner, and casually strolling through the farmer’s markets. If you are a maxi skirt kind of gal, you need a maxi dress or two. Here are some awesome free maxi dress patterns so you can make one that fits your style.

I need a couple of plus size patters, quickly. My daughter who must be a 6X+, was in a very bad car accident. She won’t be able to wear her reg. clothes for awhile. I need to help her out, and make her a couple of robes for while she is in the hospital, and then some very loose, (flowy) dresses to wear when she gets home. Any help with ideas & pattern numbers would be appreciated. I am a good seamstress, so sewing is no problem, but do need help with a pattern, that would fit. The largest I have found are 3X or size 32. I live in a very small town, and it’s 50+ miles to a fabric store and patterns. ( I do a lot of mail-ordering.). Thanks, Sher
