Buy the Daphne Maxi Dress sewing pattern from Sewing Patterns by Masin. Inspired by the glamorous Regency dresses in the Netflix series Bridgerton, Daphne has a high empire waistline, is fitted over the bust, and features short puff sleeves and a long flowy skirt. This pattern is perfect for pattern hacking, as you can easily exchange the puff sleeves for straps or lengthen the puff sleeves to ¾ sleeves. It is also very easy to shorten the skirt to a midi or mini length or even to a peplum for a top. The options are endless.

A note from the designer about bust cup options: Measure your bust and your underbust. The difference between the two numbers will tell which size is best suited for you (see chart in image gallery). If you are between cup sizes, the designer recommends sizing down as there is an elasticated panel at the back of the dress.
