Buy the Nancy Dress sewing pattern from Sew Over It. Meet your new favourite swing dress! Nancy is a 1960s icon with the ultimate swish factor. Unique panels provide shaping at the bust and back, while darts at the back give extra shaping for a lovely gentle fit. It has three quarter-length sleeves and a bias-bound neckline with the option of two different neckline shapes: a high neck or a slight scoop. There are no zips or buttons – the dress is pulled on and off over your head, closing with a hook and eye.
