SIZING

0 to 16, in three cup sizes (C/D, E/F, G/H); includes 33-46” bust and 35-46” hip. Find your size in seconds using our size calculator.

This pattern is also available in sizes 12-32 (sold separately).

RECOMMENDED FABRIC

Light- to mid-weight knit fabrics such as jersey, ITY, Liverpool knit, double knit, or ponte with at least 25% stretch both horizontally and vertically. There are two exceptions:

Relaxed bodice: at least 25% stretch horizontally, and at least 10% vertically.
A-line maxi skirt: due to the weight of the piece, 0-10% lengthwise stretch is ideal. You can use 25%+, but may need to adjust the length to account for the skirt stretching vertically.

If you are lining your bodice (for the square neckline, optional for all others), you can use the same fabric for the lining, or a lighter weight knit with the same amount of stretch.

Interfacing (turtle neckband only): lightweight stretch interfacing (optional)

NOTIONS

Ballpoint or stretch needle, thread, twin needle (optional for hem).

For elasticated waistband: 1 yd (1 m) of 1” (2.5 cm) wide elastic.

Optional: Clear elastic for shoulder seams (¾ yds/0.7 m), slash pocket openings (3/8 yd/0.3 m), and/or waist seam (1 yd/1 m).

Optional: Fusible hem tape (maximum of 6 yds /5.5 m).

Fabulous Grafton

Love this pattern will be sewing it again so many variations very easy to sew. I raised the neckline by an inch . I cut a 20 GH tapering to 22/24 for hips and waist it fit well.

Perfect bridesmaid dress

I made the square neckline, fitted bodice, and the A line skirt. I added flutter sleeves from a different pattern. Added a belt and boom! Bridesmaid ready! Loads of compliments. Instructions and drafting are wonderful. Can’t wait to try different variations!

Grafton Dress, Top & Skirt Mix & Match Pack 12-32 PDF pattern

good

made a dress with fitted top, turtle neck and a-line skirt and am quite pleased with the outcome. Its a bit more relaxed than my beloved Rivermont dress (made at least 7 of this pattern), but much faster to sew. Will try other variations soon

Such an adaptable and flexible pattern. I love it!

I haven’t yet made a full Grafton dress, but I’ve used the skirt and sleeves with the Dewey dress.
I had made the Dewey with the faux wrap skirt in a sequinned jersey, then wanted to wear the dress for a social ballroom and Latin dance. The original skirt was too narrow for ballroom dancing, so I took it off and managed to find enough of the remaining fabric to do the Grafton full circle skirt.
I received so many compliments on both versions of the dress. Looking forward to making a full Grafton soon.

Fantastic

I have been looking for a pattern like this for a long time. Fits fabulously, already made three garments.
