Printed sewing pattern • Sizes XS–3XL • Skill level: Advanced beginner

The Drop Waist Dress & Top Sewing Pattern by The Assembly Line is a modern, minimalist design featuring a relaxed silhouette and soft feminine details. This versatile pattern includes three sleeveless variations, a top, a short dress and a longer dress, all defined by gentle gathers at the neckline and a subtle keyhole opening at the back.

Inspired by contemporary ready-to-wear styles, this drop waist dress sewing pattern is ideal for recreating the clean, effortless aesthetic seen in brands like COS. The silhouette feels both current and timeless, making it a beautiful addition to a modern handmade wardrobe.

Perfect for:

  • Sewing a modern drop waist dress with a minimalist feel
  • Recreating designer-inspired, contemporary garments
  • Lightweight summer dresses and tops

Skill level • Advanced beginner

Pattern Details:

  • Printed sewing pattern with clear, well-illustrated instructions
  • Sizes XS–3XL included 
  • Three variations: top, short dress and longer dress
  • Optional design variations including bias binding and a ruffle hem

Suggested fabrics: This pattern works best in light to mid-weight woven fabrics such as:

  • Cotton poplin
  • Linen and linen blends
  • Lightweight cotton sheeting
  • Soft structured fabrics with gentle drape

Fabric choice will influence the final look — crisp fabrics create a more sculptural silhouette, while softer fabrics enhance the fluid, relaxed shape.

Fabric requirements • Please see final image for fabric requirements.

You will also need:

  • Matching thread
  • Fusible interfacing
  • Optional: buy pre-made bias binding (the fabric allowance includes bis binding from dress fabric). Please see last image for the length required.

Sewing tips:

  • Lightweight fabrics will enhance the soft gathers and movement of the dress
  • Take care when finishing the neckline for a clean, professional result
  • Consider adding the optional ruffle hem for a more statement look
  • Pre-wash your fabric to allow for any shrinkage

Durable tug-of-war, active chewer dogs delight
Pattern Name: Donkey
This is one of the better tug-of-war dog toys that I have purchased for my dog. It definitely is durable and lasts longer than any of the other ones that I’ve purchased for my Chihuahua/terrier. After many months of enjoyment, I finally had to buy her a new one, just like it and I also purchased one for my friend that has a little Yorky. I do recommend this toy.

This is a nice toy but is not aggressive pug proof....
Pattern Name: Frog
My little alpha female pug mix ripped this frog apart in about 3 weeks during supervised tugging with me. We've been sewing the head back together as the stuffing gets scattered but I'm afraid we'll have to put Mr. Frog down in a few weeks. This toy has a squeaky and a crinkle sound that make it interesting for the dog but it is not indestructible. She really likes this toy and I'll probably buy another one. Just wish I got more than a few months out of the purchase.
