We are bringing you blog posts on the theme of glitz and glamour with the aim of inspiring anticipation for our new special models. You can find an overview of all the sparkly posts here.

Free sewing instructions for a cocktail dress

Do you remember the preview images of the cocktail dress I published here on the blog about two months ago? The images only showed close-ups and there was no view of the whole dress. Let’s update that now: 

The dress can also be seen in the following video, which will accompany the launch of the Crystal Edition:

I hope you like the glamorous design! It comes from Katia Convents. In her studio, the German designer has created costumes for TV shows such as “Let’s Dance”, among other things. Katia likes to decorate her creations with rhinestones and embroidery. She has designed the Crystal Edition dress exclusively for BERNINA.

Pattern and embroidery files for free download

This cocktail dress looks light, charming and modern without sacrificing elegance. It is also versatile: you can cut a fine figure not only at an elegant dinner or at the theater, but also at the club or at private parties. Maybe you like the look of it and you’re itching to tackle a slightly more challenging project? In any case, please note that this dress is not suitable for those learning to sew.

Is “Time to shine!” your motto too, and do you want to have a go at making the cocktail dress? You can find the pattern in sizes 36 to 48 and the embroidery files at www.bernina.com/crystal-edition.

In this case, we are only providing the pattern in A0 format. The pattern pieces require three A0 sheets of paper. We didn’t want to divide them up into A4 sheets, for your sake and ours. You can get the PDFs, which you can find in the link above, printed out in A0 format at any copy shop.

Have fun and good luck with your sewing!

Best regards,
Jasmin
