The Spring ’21 trends hit the runways this past fall, but you hardly need to wait to start wearing some of them. We spoke last week of our favorite colors and fabrics for the upcoming season, but today we’ll take a look at the silhouettes we’re already in love with. Plus, (our favorite part) we have tons of free sewing patterns to help you jump on these trends early!
This dress above was created using Mood’s free Ginger Dress sewing pattern, with just a couple adjustments. First, I cut the sleeve right where it begins to flare out at the elbow. I then evenly gathered it into a 2.5″ tall cuff; easy as that!

Sleeves add structure to a garment and I’m pleased that detailed and volumes sleeves are making a return to the fashion scene!!
I grew up in the the 1980’s and all my prom dresses were Laura Ashley designs. I want to make those puffy fancy sleeves again!!! Thank you for all these beautiful patterns . Happy New Year!! I ♥️ NYC
Love the Victorian-inspired big puffy sleeves – also kind of looking forward to seeing them get as impractical as they did back then.
Love it
If you are large busted, big sleeves don’t work, they just make you look like a marshmallow.
I get you, Dee Kay, but for those of us with fuller breasts and narrow shoulders, those big sleeves help – and balance out the wider hips, too!
The Classic Trench looking better specially when you are going for official purpose.
Thank you for this pattern
Can’t wait to try it out
Do you think this would work with a jacquard?
Yes, that would look lovely!!
