Below I listed 10 beautiful dresses suitable for graduations, FREE patterns, and some style ideas. I hope you find this round up useful.
1 Party Dress
This Party Dress features a sweetheart corset and a gathered skirt. There is an optional waistband that you can sew to change the look of your dress. All the pieces are separate to allow you to use them individually. You can use the corset with jeans, or the skirt with a different top for a complete different look. Learn how to make these pieces at Corset Academy. Some lessons are free, but you can also try the premium classes for FREE the first 10 days. I took some of these lessons, and I learn a few new skills to sew corsets.
