A printed sewing pattern of the best-seller dress from the Belgian duo Notches Patterns.
Billy is a straightforward and versatile design that can be made as a long or short T-shirt dress. It features a dropped shoulder and comes with two sleeve options: a classic straight T-shirt sleeve or a sleeveless version finished with a trim. You can also add patch pockets to the front for a casual touch.
Billy has a loose, straight silhouette, making it suitable for various body types. It has no bust darts and comes in two lengths: above the knee or mid-calf. The long version features side slits for extra movement. The armholes are generous, but the sleeveless version is designed to offer enough coverage without excessive gaping.
Fabric Advice
The relaxed fit makes this pattern suitable for a wide range of knit fabrics, regardless of their elasticity. Try interlock, French terry, or lightweight sweat fabrics for a casual look, or drapey viscose or bamboo jersey for a more elegant style.
