Slip Dress Pattern Generator
Generate a Slip Dress SVG pattern. Fabric estimates stay separate from pattern generation.
Simple Mode uses simplified measurements and inferred pattern measurements. It provides an estimated fit, not a fully verified made-to-measure draft.
Measure vertically from waist to knee along the side of the body.
Horizontal distance between the two bust apex points.
Measured across the front chest from side seam to side seam. Do not simply divide full bust by two in Advanced Mode.

Cutting Data
The full-scale SVG geometry defines every straight and curved boundary. Each edge is numbered in the individual piece view and measured along its actual geometry. A curve cannot be recreated from its length alone. "Seam edge" means seam allowance is not included; add and verify allowance before cutting.
| No. | Piece | Fabric | Cut | Draft bounds (W x L) | Seam allowance | Grain / fold | Notches / marks | Path supplied |
|---|
Every Boundary Edge Length
Match E1, E2, and the remaining edge IDs to each enlarged piece view. Straight and curved lengths are measured in the selected unit. Cutting edges include the supplied allowance; seam edges do not.
| Piece | Edge ID | Boundary | Shape | Length | Allowance |
|---|
Individual Piece Cutting Views
Every pattern piece is shown separately with numbered boundary edges, cut instruction, allowance status, grainline, fold line, and source marks. Hover or focus a table row to highlight the matching edge. Screen previews are not print templates.

These fabric estimates are planning guides for purchasing fabric. They are not exact cutting pattern yardage. Final fabric usage may vary depending on pattern, size, seam allowance, fabric direction, nap, stretch, print matching, cutting layout, alterations, and designer preference.
