I’ve been trying to download the free pattern for over an hour now and I’m so frustrated.
I managed to get a toolbar that I didn’t want, and you want me to get a google account which I don’t want. I only wanted the pattern which I still have been unable to get.
I followed the instructions and entered my e mail. An hour later I have not had the link to carry on.
I’m very disappointed.

Anabelle Delgado
Sorry Charlotte, I don’t own the pattern. It was posted in the Love sewing magazine and it is no longer available.

George and Ginger has a similar pattern on their etsy page. I believe it’s called the Jawbraker dress.

How can i make this dress for a size 14-16
Anabelle Delgado
HI Sierra!
To grade up the pattern, just add 1/2″ on the side for each size – you can also make a sloper with your measurements and adjust the pattern to your measurements.

Hi Annabelle.
I was wondering if you have the ruby dress pattern still available as I am wanting to use that as a template for my wedding dress in August this year. If not do you know where I would be able to get it from?
Anabelle Delgado
Thanks for your interest Jess, you should receive the link to the pattern in your first email when you sign up for the sew along.
