The PLUS SIZE Artsy Smock Dress 2XL to 6XL is a layered sewing pattern. Semi-fitted with an empire line so it skims your body but doesn’t cling – it’s quick and easy with no zips or buttons involved! This is a pull-on dress with a square neck, a gathered or pleated skirt, and a belt to give you shape without being clingy. You can go up or down a size for a tighter or looser fit! Choose from short or half-sleeve options—I’ve included both options and the dress comes in a version to take to the copy shop (single sheet format), A4, and Letter PDFs to print at home.
