- Use the main dress pieces from the Charm Patterns Bryant Gown and add these expansion pieces for the flounce and sleeve to make a spooky but glam gown
- We’ve made this version in neoprene with 50% stretch so you can eliminate facings and hems for quick Halloween sewing
To celebrate the spooky season, I’ve created a Morticia-inspired take on the Charm Patterns Bryant Gown pattern. You will use the Bryant Gown’s main dress pieces and add these free expansion sleeve and flounce pieces to sew a wonderfully gothic gown. And the best part? We know Halloween sewing needs to be fast and fabulous, so we’ve designed this version to be quick and easy. We’ve used a stretch neoprene, which means you can eliminate the zipper and leave the hem edges raw! We’ve also nixed the neckline facings and replaced them with a lovely Venise lace trim that we know Morticia would love.
Morticia Gown Supplies
- Bryant Gown pattern from Charm Patterns
- Fabric for dress
- Thread to match your fabric
- Nonstretch lace trim (We used 2-in-wide Venise lace trim, but use any width that is easy to shape around the neckline.)
Morticia Gown Fabric Notes
We recommend knit fabrics that don’t fray, like stretch neoprene or scuba knit. You can also try stretch lace, nylon tricot, or ponte knit. The sleeve and gown hems are unfinished. Your fabric should have around 50% stretch (4 inches of fabric should stretch to 6 inches).
