Plus Size Denim Dress Sewing Pattern: 14X-24 Stretch Denim with Invisible Zipper


Our Jeannette Jumper Dress comes in 14X-24 sizes, but can be adjusted 2 sizes down or up by an accomplished sewist.  Wear this sleeveless jumper with a fitted top underneath.  Easy to put on with the invisible zipper and V neck design.

We’ve designed the top and bottom with vertical bust and waist darts which provides a slimming design.

Use a structured denim to hide bulges you’re not a fan of.  Use a slightly more stretchable fabric with less structure if you’re so inclined. 

Goes to above the knee or, advanced sewers can lengthen to below the knee.
 
Fastenings:  18″ Invisible Side Zipper
 
Main Fabric: 4.5 – 7.5 oz stretch denim, corduroy, blends with 3% elastine.   Suggestion:  Shop around for affordable fabrics.  They can be found, but fabrics toward the beginning of fall season are top prices.  Look for clearance.

Wovens with up to 3% Spandex or Elastane.  Chambray/Spandex, Lightweight Denim/Spandex, Cotton or Cotton Blend / Spandex (careful of weight here), Poly Twill/Spandex, Corduroy/Spandex.

Notions

Optional: 1/2″ stay tape (Dritz Stay Tape) for neckline and armhole.

Skill Level Intermediate

This dress is too ambitious for a beginner.  An intermediate sewist who understands or can watch the burrito roll video, can successfully accomplish this sew.

Experience or practice with an invisible zipper (one the side seam), is recommended.  Buy a few extra zippers and practice on sample fabric to be sure about finishing the ends of the zipper.

Extremely detailed information is provided for both the zipper and the burrito roll.

Margie Vaudreuil

Hi! My name is Margie, and my number one passion is sewing. In fact, I’ve dedicated a big part of my life to mastering it and teaching it to others. When I was a little girl, I loved watching my mother at her sewing machine. She could make anything—it felt like magic. She created clothes for our whole family, and that left a lasting impression on me. Today, I carry that same spirit forward through my own work—designing, sewing, and teaching others the techniques that truly elevate their skills. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than helping someone go from “just getting by” to feeling confident and capable in their sewing. Thank you so much for being here. If you ever want to reach out, I’d truly love to hear from you. Enjoy! Margie
