Denise @denise.does | The Sia dress is a such a nice sew. I made the size 22 in version 3 and I love the way it fits me. It’s a style that I can see wearing to all types of occasions. I love the tie sleeves and they are put together in an interesting way. The pattern includes lovely finishes even in the unlined version.” Denise – View B Lining (optional): Choose a lining that has similar properties to your main fabric so that they work together in your garment. Marzena @marzena.kolaczek | When Taree showed us her first version of Sia Dress it took my breath away! I decided immediately that this dress will be mine… and there it is! I chose size 4 (and it fits perfect!), and midi version with cute tied sleeves. These details are so charming! I love everything in this dress. Thank you so much Taree 🙂 Marzena – View A

As a confident beginner sewist, I think this dress is the right amount of challenge for me! I did the unlined version (I will attempt the lined version next time!) and a size 18. I successfully put in an invisible zipper and shortened the bodice and dress to make it fit me better, I’m 5’2. I suggest making a toil of the bodice to make sure everything hits at the right spot. I think this dress can be flattering on everyone. Size 18 was a little loose on me and it made it so comfortable. The instructions were really good, but as the beginner sewist I am, I did put my seam ripper to use a time or two. Overall, I love the Sia dress! I will definitely make more use of it once it gets warmer here, even if we’ll still be self-isolating 🙂 Cindy – View B View C (mini length with tie sleeves): 45″ (1.15 m) wide fabric: 2.7 – 4.0 yd (2.5 – 3.7 m) // 58″ (1.5 m) wide fabric: 2.0 – 2.8 yd (1.9 – 2.6 m). Main fabric: This dress is best suited to a fabric that is soft and drapes well. Consider using light to mid weight fabrics such as linen, linen blends, cotton and cotton gauze. For a softer silhouette consider polyester, viscose, rayon, tencel, silk or blends of these. The surface texture of a crepe or crinkle is also a great option.

View B (midi length with puff sleeves): 45″ (1.15 m) wide fabric – only use this width if you can top and tail pattern pieces: 3.4 – 4.6 yd (3.1 – 4.2 m) // 58″ (1.5 m) wide fabric: 2.6 – 3.8 yd (2.4 – 3.5 m).

I believe it safe to say that singer songwriter Sia is among the most creative people on Earth. That being said, if you're a fan, you're not going to want to miss out on Sia's Nostalgic for the Present tour, which is sure to be full of surprises and wonderment. Sia will be joined on tour with Miguel and Aluna George and the concert will probably feature a whole host of songs from Sia's latest album This Is Acting– the audience's ears will be in for a treat. Taree @taree.marsh | Pattern Designer. Goes without saying I love the Sia Dress and it’s versatility as a pattern. It looks fabulous on a wide range of body types and also suits a wide range of ages. My intention was for this pattern to be all inclusive. Nadia @nadiaseostyles | I made the mini with tie sleeves in size 8. No modifications were made. I think this is a dress that would flatter anyone who wears it. I absolutely adore it. Nadia – View B However, there's no doubt in my mind that Nostalgic for the Present will be a spectacle too. Many of Sia's music videos and live performances are like live art, leaving audiences questioning the meaning behind them. Of course, Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler – who's featured in the music videos and live performances of some of Sia's most recent, biggest hits – elevates Sia's music to another level, with her phenomenal dancing and acting abilities. I've got everything crossed in the hopes that Maddie will join Sia on tour, but there's been no official news yet.
