Free New Skirt for Marbella Dress (+ Storewide Sale!)
The Marbella Dress pattern has been one of the most popular patterns in the Itch to Stitch shop. I am not surprised because the dress is elegant and flattering. And the pattern also comes in A, B, C and D cup for a great fit. I especially love the feminine boat neck that creates a graceful line and draws the focus to the wearer’s neck and face. The front and back yokes, as well as the front and back princess seams, lend themselves to creative color-blocking opportunity.
So it makes perfect sense for me to take advantage of the beautiful bodice and make another look with it. The original Marbella Dress has a modern tulip skirt, and now it includes a flirty half-circle skirt too! Like the original skirt, the new add-on skirt also has in-seam pockets. I love dresses with pockets; I know many of you share my sentiment.
Now the half-circle skirt add-on is free to the purchaser of the Marbella Dress pattern. Log into your Itch to Stitch account and you will find the add-on pattern there.

For those who purchased the Marbella Dress pattern elsewhere (i.e., not at itch-to-stitch.com), it may take a week or two for you to get the add-on pattern. Some of the shops are curated and it depends on their schedules to put the add-on patterns to their shops. However, if you still have a proof of purchase (i.e., receipt) from the other sources, I am happy to make the pattern available to you on itch-to-stitch.com, too. Go set yourself up for an account on itch-to-stitch.com and then send me a message!
Also, now the Marbella Dress pattern with its add-on are in the A0 format. You can take the files to your local print shop, wherever you are in the world! No taping if you don’t want to!
Want to see the beautiful creations from my talented testers? Their work just sweep me off my feet! (Note that some of the skirts are lengthened; as with all other Itch to Stitch patterns, instructions for lengthening and shortening are included in the pattern.)
My sincere thanks to these lovely ladies!

Hi Kennis – I’m absolutely loving all your patterns and have made a few. I’m thinking of getting the Marbella Dress and wonder if I can make this up with a knit fabric. The knit has approximately 30% stretch to it. If so, I’m assuming I should make my normal size. Any suggestions?
Hi Nancy, thanks for reaching out. I am afraid that Marbella is a close fitting dress designed for woven. It would be huge and saggy if you use knit.
This is just in time! I was going to make this dress as a “reception” dress just in case I got to hot in my wedding dress at the end of this month. While I like the original version, I LOVE this version!!! Thanks for adding this to the pattern! I can’t wait to start sewing.
I am so glad the dress can be part of your important day! You are going to look stunning! 🙂
Ladies, y’all did Kennis’ add-on real good!! Loving all the tester versions. Kennis’ that black and white one of yours is AMAZING!! So versatile.
Thank you Abigail 🙂 I am quite happy with all the versions created by the testers. These ladies are amazing! The black and white floral fabric is from Joann. It’s a linen/rayon blend; I love the drape and the softness. I think Joann still has that fabric in the store (if anyone is interested). I got it not too long ago.
Thans for this free add-on !
I bought the Marbella dress pattern some time ago (and did not have time to sew it yet), and I had an email to let me know about this add-on.
I like it a lot and on the day I sew it, it surely be with that nice full skirt !
I hope you get some “me time” to sew it soon! 🙂
Hi Kennis,
I love that you use so many different sizes and different age groups for your models. It really helps one to see what the pattern really looks like, and gives the style justice. 🙂 Thank you
PS Love the black and white floral fabric you have used!
I got it just 2 weeks ago at Joann. I am sure they still have it. It’s a rayon/linen blend. 🙂
That’s the goal! 🙂
