Sewing pattern for a Viking-style dress
Files available instantly after purchase
Looking for THE must-have of your LARP wardrobe?
This is it! The Viking dress: the classic duo of dresses worn one over the other. And for a flawless look, the oval brooches on the straps and the strands of beads attached to them.
This pattern includes 2 layered dress designs:
Dress design A (the grey and green dress in the photos)
- Long dress with long sleeves and a round slit neckline. With contrasting trim at the neckline and sleeves.
- V-neck overdress, open in the front and laced in the back. With double straps and contrasting trim at the top and hem.
Dress design B (the white and blue dress in the photos)
- Long dress with long sleeves and a round neckline. With contrasting trim at the neckline, sleeves and hem.
- Apron dress with a square neckline, laced on both sides.
🎁 Bonus: 10 STL files (3D printing) to make your own brooches + 2 STL files for a Viking button to decorate your dress + a mini tutorial to make easy-to-attach strands of beads.
These 2 dress designs are simple, but very versatile. And the finishing details can easily be swapped, for even more possibilities. They'll be a perfect addition to your collection.
💜 Also available in the BUNDLE LADY VIKING (with the guide "Introduction to tablet weaving" by Captain Vyvyen, to make your own decorative trims) and in the BIG BUNDLE VIKING.
