Description
The Premonition Dress sewing pattern features a vintage modern asymmetric cocktail style with a modified sweetheart neckline and a classic draped pencil skirt. Ideal for advanced sewists building tailored garments.
Formal or casual, this striking design is a dress you will be proud to wear anywhere. A raglan cap sleeve frames the modified sweetheart cross-over neckline with an unlined bodice. The pleated right side overlay perfectly balances the cascading skirt drape over a mid-calf fitted pencil skirt with back kick pleat. Including a dash of sparkle of your choice at the waistline is definitely recommended! A left side zipper closure finishes it off. Considered an advanced project due to asymmetry, this dress is likely easier to assemble than you think.
For a truly one-of-a-kind finish, add a designer touch to your sash or neckline with a Venise Lace Applique Set.

How Our Sizing Works

- 2″ hip ease
Additional design ease may be added depending on the style. To understand the finished garment fit, refer to the body measurements in the chart and add the ease amounts listed above.
Plus Fit

- 2.5″ full‑bust ease (to support a smooth fit on a fuller bust)

This dress is the perfect choice for a formal event. I had a hard time choosing between 5th Avenue and Premonition for my last special occasion. Although I haven’t made Premonition yet it is a strong contender for my next fancy sew. I absolutely love the design.
