Description

The Valentine Slip sewing pattern features a vintage modern classic lingerie slip with princess seams and an adjustable strap system. Drafted using a modern size chart designed to fit teens through plus sizes.

Feel beautiful under everything you wear in these two feminine slip styles, which offer a “full” fit for modesty both on top and bottom. Both feature princess bodice seams and utilize ribbon, lingerie slides and rings, or purchased straps. Wide lace with a scalloped edge and 2 ribbon bow accents forms the View A bodice, back inset, and skirt trim. The View B bodice features a contrast fabric trim and skirt ruffle. Both lengths fall just below the knee. The pattern includes a template and step-by-step instructions to make altering for cup size a breeze!

⟡ About Fit & Ease

How Our Sizing Works

All of our patterns are multi‑sized, and every size is included in each pattern. We use a measurement‑based sizing system similar to bridalwear, so your usual retail size or standard pattern size may not correspond to our chart. Select your size using your body measurements, choosing the closest match for each area. You can achieve an excellent fit by customizing your size across the three main measurement points.

Misses Fit

Our misses block is drafted for a true hourglass figure with broader shoulders, a full B‑cup bust, a long waist, and a height of 5’7″. Fitted styles generally include:

  • 3″ full‑bust ease
  • 0–1″ waist ease
  • 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

Our plus block is drafted for a different distribution of curves than the misses block, with narrower shoulders, a fuller waist and hip, a slightly shorter waist length, and a height of 5’7″. Plus patterns include cup sizes from C–F, which vary by style. Fitted styles include:

  • 2.5″ full‑bust ease (to support a smooth fit on a fuller bust)
  • 1″ waist ease
  • 4″ 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.

1 review for Valentine Slip Sewing Pattern

  1. Mary Ann T.

    The Valentine slip is so beautiful it may look intimidating at first, but it is fairly quick to sew, and the most challenging is sewing the cups. I think a confident beginner to an intermediate sewist could accomplish it quite well. The finished slip is a confidence booster both as a sewing accomplishment, as well as it’s uplifting to wear something so pretty. In my experience ready made slips are very difficult to find to purchase and even more so one as lovely as this. Sew Chic Patterns have a way of presenting beauty and functionality with easy to follow instructions. This slip has cup sizes so you can be confident of the fit, and the paper patterns include wonderful detailed instructions.
