Pyrite Pleated Dress – free pattern in pre-pleated chiffon

Soft and flowing, flirty and romantic, the Pyrite Pleated Dress was made to move with you like a shadow. Crafted from featherweight pre-pleated chiffon in a delicate rosy pink, this dress catches the air in dreamy ways, creating dimension and texture with every sway. The contrast charcoal-gray double georgette bodice adds just the right amount of structure, with bust darts that shape a flattering, fitted silhouette before flowing into the airy skirt below. A side-seam zipper finishes it cleanly and a full lining keeps it comfortable.

Pre-pleated chiffon is one of those magical fabrics that does most of the work for you — if you’ve been intimidated by pleating, this is the gentle way in.
