Dress 56 is a digital sewing pattern for women from the Moldey catalog: fitted short dress with crossed back.
Bodycon mini dress, fitted to the body, with a deep V-neckline closed by a visible metal zipper at the front and an X-shaped crossed cutout on the upper back.
A knit with good elastane, such as spandex jersey knit, lets the bodycon fit without showing seams and holds the back cutout. Sew the zipper with reinforcement tape so it does not open with movement.
