The Tie No. 2 is built on the beloved versatility of the original Tie Dress (or Tie No. 1), with added sweetness and femininity that elevates this version into a sophisticated wardrobe essential that can be adapted for year-round wear. At the heart of both Tie Dresses are the four signature ties that offer endless styling possibilities that, depending on your preference for a defined waist or a relaxed silhouette, can be fastened to the front, back, or sides to suit your mood and creative expression. 

Building on the foundation of adaptability, the Tie No. 2 is fully reversible, allowing you to switch between different looks effortlessly. This version introduces even more variety with two distinct front styles: a classic button-down for a structured feel and a graceful wrap style for a softer touch. Both necklines are designed to provide a polished and modest aesthetic that transition seamlessly from professional settings to casual outings. 

And lastly, one of the most exciting updates is the seasonal flexibility of the Tie No. 2. With two sleeve options—a charming short ruffle sleeve for warmer days and an elasticized ruffle long sleeve for cooler weather—this pattern is designed to be your companion through all four seasons. The addition of a tired skirt with a ruffled hem adds romantic volume and playful movement that embodies a “simple with personality” style. 

Whether you are drawn to its cute, romantic charm or its elegant sophistication, the Tie No. 2 encourages you to mix and match its features to create a garment that is uniquely yours.

To ensure your sewing experience is as rewarding as the finished dress, a comprehensive step-by-step sewalong video accompanies the pattern. In this video, I guide you through every detail of making this dress, from buttonholes to tiered ruffles, making sure you have the skills to savour the process and even use it as a form of sewing therapy.  No matter your skill level, this project is designed to be approachable, enjoyable, and a beautiful addition to your handmade journey.

SUGGESTED FABRIC

Since this pattern features ruffles and gentle gathering, fabrics with a gentle drape work best, while overly stiff or crisp fabrics may not achieve the intended silhouette. To make the most of this four-season design, consider these options:

Linen or Linen Blends
Cotton Lawn or Voile
Rayon or Viscose
Tencel (Lyocell)
Double Gauze
Lightweight Flannel

 The fabrics I used for my Tie NO 2 Dresses 
1. Cotton Double Gauze - Dark Cocoa Gingham
2. SS Linen - Teal
3. Terrazzo Linen Jacquard - Merlot
4. Ethereal Stripe Linen - Amber
5. Cotton - Vintage Rose (I used this fabric to clearly distinguish between the right and wrong sides for the video; however, I wouldn't recommend it for this specific dress, as it’s a bit too stiff for a flowy silhouette.)

PREPARATION

Pre-wash and dry all your fabrics as this will prevent your garment from shrinking. We recommend you read the instructions thoroughly before sewing.
