The ASSEMBLY LINE • Cuff Dress Sewing Pattern (XS - 3XL)
Printed sewing pattern • Sizes XS–3XL • Skill level: Beginner
The Cuff Dress Sewing Pattern by The Assembly Line is a relaxed, modern dress that combines easy wearability with thoughtful Scandinavian design. Inspired by The Assembly Line’s much-loved Cuff Top, this dress develops the original design into a versatile full-length garment with soft shaping and practical details.
The design features a softly rounded neckline with a delicate keyhole opening at the back, half-length sleeves finished with elasticated cuffs and a comfortable elasticated waist that gently defines the silhouette. Practical in-seam pockets complete the design, making the Cuff Dress an easy choice for everyday wear.
Designed for light to medium weight woven fabrics, the Cuff Dress can take on quite a different character depending on your fabric choice — crisp cottons will give the silhouette more structure, while linen, silk or crepe will create a softer, more fluid finish.
Perfect for:
- Relaxed dresses with modern Scandinavian styling
- Beginner sewists looking for an approachable dressmaking project
- Everyday dresses with comfortable, practical details
- Light to medium weight fabrics with soft structure or drape

Sewing tips:
