Sonata Dress
$12.50
All Love Notions Sewing Patterns are digital downloads, you may print them at home or send to a copy shop. A physical pattern will not be mailed to you.
The Sonata Dress is meant for woven fabrics. It features a v-neckline with a facing that can either be sewn to the outside to feature a fabric, or sewn to the inside to give a seamless look. The dress can also be lined if you’re working with a sheer fabric. Four sleeve options are included: sleeveless, short, flutter and bishop. The high waistline is flattering and easy to wear with the a-line skirt. The back of the dress features an elastic casing to give a more fitted look without having to deal with other forms of closures. And what dress would be complete without pockets?! The Sonata Dress includes side seam pockets.

I love my tencel satin Sonata dress – it’s both polished and comfy.
I needed to adjust the bust darts but that was easy thanks to the clear instructions.

Having a large bust, I shied away from dresses for many years… then I found Love Notions patterns. The Sonata pattern has become my block for tops. Both dresses fit me perfectly and my husband loves them :). The dress is easy to sew and the instructions are detailed and easy to follow.

I really like this pattern for woven fabric. I have made it at least 6 times and always changed up the details. Thank you for such a versatile pattern.

I love that the Sonata Dress pattern has cup sizes, and appreciate the fitting tips in the tutorial. I had to lower the bust dart (a common adjustment for me) and although I still need to hem and add the binding to the armscyes, I can tell that this dress is going to be worn often and the pattern used again and again. And, it has pockets, always a win in my book! <3

Love this dress, it’s so easy to make. I made 2 in a day. First one was slightly fiddly, second one was done a couple hours later.
Comfy, perfect fit. Love the pockets

This is a great dress; incredibly versatile, feminine yet practical and easy to wear. Dress up or down. I’ve lowered the waist for a different look, and used it for a top (i just added fish eye darts in the back instead of the elastic for shaping, but have also left loose for a comfy top). Great fit in the sleeves and lots of options. Truly a ‘go to’ for me 🙂
