Oh Clover, you have been my most recurring pdf pattern. I have made Clover Child, Clover Tween, Clover Dress add-on Child, Clover Dress add-on Tween and now Clover Dress Misses pattern. I have also hacked Clover into a top and now I want to share with you how you use the original sewing pattern and turn the Clover Dress into a maxi length dress. Below I will have measurements for all size ranges Child, Tween and Misses.
But before we get down to business, here are some maxi dress photo inspirations…
Clover as a maxi is just so dreamy!!!
Fabric Details:
Misses Dress: Spoonflower
Tween Dress: Atelier Brunette
How to Assemble the Maxi Skirt:
-Cut your skirt according to the charts below.
-Sew the front and back skirt side seams together with a 1/2" seam allowance just as you did with the Hi Lo skirt.
-Follow the tutorial instructions just as you were sewing the Hi Lo skirt. Hem, with a 1/4", 1/4" seam allowance. So simple, right?!!
