Cloud Dress
Cloud is a versatile ruffle top and dress design inviting you to play with adding and removing tiers. You can make a top by only attaching the first tier, a midi dress with two tiers, or a floor-length gown by adding a third tier.
Cloud is the perfect pattern for beginners – you’ll learn how to sew a neckline facing and how to become a pro at making gathers.
This pattern was originally published in Issue No. 4 of TAUKO. The instructions are those included in the magazine and as such are a different format and less detailed than the usual Sewing Patterns by Masin.

Fabric
Cloud works best in non-stretch, light to medium weight woven fabrics. I prefer a stiff cotton fabric for this piece as it can hold its voluminous shape. Choose a rayon/viscose fabric if you want a more romantic, flowy look. You can also make the Cloud dress in a sheer fabric such as chiffon and wear it over a simple slip dress for a more elegant look.
The gingham sample dress is made from 52% linen/48% cotton, 6.19 oz/210 gsm and the petrol blue sample is made from a 100% cotton poplin (3.7 oz/125 gsm).
