This is a digital PDF sewing pattern, not a physical product.
The Catalina Dress captures the romance of sunlit streets and the effortless charm of a European holiday while remaining perfectly suited for everyday life.
The bodice is dotted with delicate buttons down the front, inviting a touch of whimsy. Its three quarter sleeves have a playful flutter, finished with a bold, structured cuff that gives a modern edge. Double ruffles along the princess seams drift and sway with every step, adding gentle drama that enhances the silhouette without stealing the show. The midi skirt hits at just the right length to feel effortlessly cool and easy to keep down when the wind moves you through the busy city streets.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Hi, I'm Romy-Krystal!
Born and raised in sunny Sydney, I'm a color-loving maker. I started sewing over a decade ago, teaching myself through countless Google searches, YouTube marathons, and a healthy dose of trial and error. About five years ago, I dove headfirst into pattern drafting, eventually taking a formal course to bring my physical patterns into the digital world with Adobe Illustrator.
I design every pattern myself—from sketch to sample to instructions and even the YouTube tutorials. It’s a one-woman show powered by passion (or obsession).
My style? Think bold color, playful patchwork, and modern design with a high-end feel. I believe sewing should be fun, inclusive, and full of personality. When I’m not working on patterns you’ll find me supporting other’s in the sewing community.
Whether you’re just getting started or you're here for the color and creativity, you’re so welcome. I’m glad you’re here—stay a while!
