Warhol Dress (FREE!)
Inspired by Andy Warhol’s famous album cover art for the Velvet Underground, this dress is perfect for summer. It’s light weight, not clingy or tight, it says “relaxing” to me.
The pattern comes in two sizes (6-12 months and 3-4 years), with printable pattern pieces, step-by-step photos to guide you along, and lots of info. The best part is….its FREE! If you’ve never tried out one of our patterns, now you can!
There are two variations on the dress:
Since my husband and I are headed on vacation to Italy, I made the Italy version for our 4 year-old. Hopefully when she spots that Italian boot, she’ll have a small grasp on where in the world her parents have gone.
The construction of this dress is really quite simple and soon you’ll find yourself making all sorts of variations on it. Make a shirt, make a Shortie, make one for YOU?!
My favorite part of this dress has to be the yoke, which ties in a bow over the shoulder. Make the bow as small or large as you like. It’s feminine without being over-the-top.
For a more modest look or for cooler months, you can easily throw a t-shirt underneath or a sweater on top. Add leggings as well!
Ready to try it out? Excellent. It’s FREE!
The pattern is in PDF format. There are TWO files you need to download:
The Warhol Dress Pattern INSTRUCTIONS are HERE (16 pages, 2.4 MB)
The Warhol Dress Pattern PIECES are HERE (6 pages, 1.5 MB)
And that’s it! Of course when you’re done with your version of the dress, we’d love you to share it with us. Add it to the YOU MADE IT flickr group.
Ciao!

When you click on the links, you should be prompted to open the docs in Preview or other viewing software you use on your computer.

Hmmm…
Should I be saying some magic words??

Thanks Dana for your encouragement! My girl is loving her new dress http://focussedlenz.blogspot.co.nz/2012/03/fifty-cent-sun-dress-lessons-learnt-in.html
I would love to try to make this dress!
I can’t wait to make this for my new little granddaughter!!! The dress is so ADORABLE!!! Since we are a country-western family, I will put a western twist to it.
Hi there!
LOVE the Warhol dress! Am I missing something?? I can only open the second link (6 pages) and have printed the dress, but there is no yolk part? I’m a brunette, promise, but …..?
PLEASE help. I have 5 year old twins and am super excited to make this dress for them, Thank you!
Hello!
I can open the first document but not the pattern! The message says that the file is damaged – probably had a lot of use! Is there any chance you could upload again please?!! I’d love to make this for my friend’s daughter
Thank you!
Marna – there is no pattern for the yoke – you just cut strips and then iron them. It’s in the instructions.
I would just like to let everyone know that this dress and pattern are great! However, it is super hard to iron the knit t-shirt material to make the yoke. I did it, but it wound up being so bulky because the edges of the knit material kept curling up. So I actually went back out and got some yellow cotton to make my yoke with. Much, much easier. Just FYI!
Thanks again, Dana!
Thanks Dana!
) I was unable to open the instructions. Did it on my husband’s PC now. Looking forward to sewing this loooooooong weekend!

Hi Dana,
I can print the pattern pieces but i cant seem to open the instructions… sad sad panda!!
I would love to start selling & get labels printed up…but my hesitation is that I’m not sure about what name to go with. How do I check to make sure that no one else is using a name already and do I need to do anything to register my name somewhere?
Whoops…sorry. Thought I was leaving this comment on a different page. I will post it there. Wish there was a way to delete this comment.
Was finally going to get to sewing one of these and the link doesn’t seem to be working again. Help! I want to get sewing!
I would LOVE the Warhol dress pattern! ITs adorable!

i am new in sewing and i have a little 2 year girl!i would like to see her in one of this dresses,maybe made by mama!!!
