dress pattern
Garment cutting template
A dress pattern is a template—usually printed on tissue paper—showing the shapes to cut from fabric when making a dress.
The pieces are pinned to cloth, traced or cut around, then assembled according to instructions.
Commercial patterns from companies like McCall's or Simplicity come in envelopes with multiple sizes.
