Great starter pattern but very limited design detail

The Tank Dress is exactly what it says — a tank dress, no more. As a beginner it's ideal. If you're looking for pattern interest or design features, look elsewhere. That's not a criticism exactly, just a note that the simplicity is intentional and total.

Esme O.
Added a ruffle hem tier to make it a midi

I modified the hem by adding a gathered ruffle tier to bring the length to midi. It completely changes the character of the dress while keeping the simple bodice. The modification was easy to plan and execute.

K
Kathryn S.
Sewed it in every colour of my fabric stash

I've now made a Tank Dress in literally every solid colour jersey I had in my stash. Each version takes less than two hours and they all look great together as a coordinated wardrobe. The pattern is a genuine fabric stash buster.

Glenna R.
Tried adding patch pockets as a fun modification

The Tank Dress is so clean and simple that it's an ideal canvas for modifications. I added two patch pockets to the front which give it a utilitarian feel I love. The pockets also make it more practical for everyday wear.

Anissa E.
Built confidence to try harder patterns next

After making the Tank Dress successfully I felt ready to try more complex patterns. Knowing I could sew a wearable garment made all the difference to my confidence. This pattern is a brilliant gateway project.
