Description

With over 190 UNIQUE combinations possible in this pattern, the Tea Party Dress will quickly become you go-to party dress! It has so many options to finish each aspect of the dress that you will never get tired of sewing this quick yet gratifying pattern.

Choose different finished each time to create a party dress that is uniquely yours and one-of-a-kind.

The neckline can be created with a modest boat neck, casual scoop front, classic ‘V’ neck or sweet princess style sweetheart look.

The back of the dress can also be tailored to your taste or mood. You can choose from a simple classic back, more modern racer back, show stopping scoop back or beautiful cut-out back.

Another way to customise your dress is to choose how you would like the arms to look - high or low - and the style of sleeve you would like (if any at all!) The gathered cap sleeve adds a sweet touch and the mini cap is a very quick way to add a different look (and some extra sun protection).

When it comes to the skirt you can choose from the huge twirl factor that comes with a full circle skirt or the more casual look of the straight skirt. NOTE: Both skirts are KNEE length only

This pattern is suitable for intermediate sewers and comes in sizes 0 (6-12months) up to size 8. It is suitable for light to medium weight woven fabrics.

Common PDF Pattern questions

What is a PDF pattern & how do I use it?

A PDF is pattern is an electronic version of a sewing pattern (also known as an e-book or e-pattern) which you can download and print on your home printer.


Once you have downloaded the pattern and saved it to your computer it is your responsibility to take care of your patterns. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you save them to a backup USB or cloud based storage such as Dropbox (see info above) in case your computer is lost or damaged.


You will need a PDF reader to open the files. We recommend Adobe Reader which you can download HERE. Viewing and printing issues can sometimes occur if you don’t have the latest version of your PDF reader. Please make sure you frequently check for (and install) updates.


To print your PDF pattern – you can print it at home on either A4 or letter paper. MAKE SURE your printer settings are set to 100%, NO SCALING or ACTUAL SIZE. Always check the 1” test square on your pattern to ensure it has printed the correct size before cutting your fabric. If your printer has cut off part of the pattern page you may need to reduce your print margins – you can find this under ‘page setup’ in your printer settings.

Once printed, the patterns will require you to assemble the pattern pieces by sticking them together. Instructions for how to do this is included at the beginning of each pattern.


If you have any trouble printing or assembling your pattern please contact us via email and we will do our best to troubleshoot with you to find a solution –help@tadahpatterns.com.au
My pattern is all shown on one big page - what is going on?

Each Tadah PDF pattern comes with THREE FILES:

  1. The main pattern file which includes the pattern cover, info pages, tutorial and pattern pieces (sliced for printing at home). THIS IS THE FILE YOU NEED TO OPEN TO PRINT AT HOME.
  2. The large format (A0) pattern which has all of the pattern pieces on one (or several) large pages. This file CANNOT be printed at home, it must be printed on a specialised large format printer at a commercial printer or office supplies store such as Officeworks in Australia or Staples in North America.
  3. Projector files which are specially formatted for those who use sewing projectors for cutting their pattern pieces.

If you are seeing just one page with pattern pieces, your printer is only printing a small corner of the page or it prints the whole pattern very tiny, then it is likely that you have opened the large format or projector file. To print at home you simply need to download and print the MAIN pattern file (the one with the pattern cover and tutorial) - this has the 'print at home' pages at the back.

If you have any trouble at all please pop us an email and we will walk you through the process.
