The Kingsley Bias Cut Dress & Cami pattern is an ideal choice for intermediate sewists looking to refine their garment construction skills with versatile, professional-grade pieces. This pattern offers the flexibility to create either a flowing, elegant dress or a simple, chic camisole top, making it a valuable addition to any handmade wardrobe. While the bias-cut design produces a sophisticated drape, makers should be prepared for the delicate handling required when working with bias-cut fabrics to ensure a perfect finish.

The Kingsley pattern is intended for intermediate sewists due to the technical requirements of bias cutting and construction.
This variant is sized specifically for 18–30.
While possible, fabrics with fluid drape like rayon, silk, or viscose are highly recommended to achieve the intended silhouette of a bias-cut dress.
Style Arc patterns typically include seam allowances; please refer to the specific markings on your printed pattern sheets.
This pattern provides the templates for both a dress and a camisole, allowing you to create as many versions of each as you like.
Apply stay-stitching to all curved and bias edges immediately after cutting to stabilize the shape.
Allow the garment to hang on a dress form or hanger for 24 hours before leveling the hem to account for bias stretch.
Adjust your machine tension and use a shorter stitch length to ensure a smooth, balanced seam.
To prepare for this project, ensure you have a standard sewing machine equipped with a sharp universal or microtex needle, which helps prevent snagging on the delicate fabrics typically used for bias cuts. Recommended fabric choices include silk, rayon, or viscose, which possess the necessary drape for this pattern's design. To care for your finished Kingsley garment, hand washing or a gentle cycle in a mesh laundry bag is recommended to prevent excessive stretching or fabric fatigue. Always store these garments folded rather than on hangers to maintain their shape over time.
