Hi everyone! In this video I’ll show you how to sew this chanel-inspired, delicately elegant A-line dress with the cutest short sleeves & the prettiest square neckline :)
I’m using my Chantelle PDF downloadable sewing pattern, get it here:

(Watch the second part of the tutorial here: https://youtu.be/_SFhPVmcvLQ)
Here are the materials you’ll need:
- 1.7-2.15 m (1.85-2.35 yds) light-medium weight woven fabric
- 1.7-2.15 m (1.85-2.35 yds) lining fabric
- 0.5 m (0.6 yds) interfacing for a partially interfaced dress, or 1.7-2.15 m (1.85-2.35 yds) for a fully interfaced dress
- Invisible zipper 56-60 cm (22”-24”) long
- Zipper machine foot for invisible zipper
- matching thread
- glasshead pins
- scissors
- measurement tape
- Chantelle pattern
I recommend using a woven medium-weight fabric that holds its shape and doesn’t stretch, and isn’t see-through. This is something like a suiting fabric, chenille twee, boucle tweed, and poplin. For the lining, use something like a viscose or a poly fabric.
