DIY: FREE Sewing Pattern and Tutorial To Recreate This Alberta Ferretti Dress

Here's another FREE pattern I came across today, and yes it is very modest, and you could style it in different ways. You can tailor it for summer days in floral fabric, or for winter and cooler months, good in boots, sandals, or high heels. And with the right fabric you can recreate this Alberta Ferretti Dress from Resort 2015 Collection:

Anybody want some dress like this one?

Perhaps for a more modest appearance we can lengthen the bottom hem.

I'm really glad to have stumbled on this blog who gave the complete tutorial for sewing the dress, FREE! I think the pattern is perfect for beginner, no hassle about making and cutting those sleeves, and for the red embellishment, instead of the beads and corals she opted for lace motif appliques. Isn't that clever?
