Sophisticated styling with a great neckline and welted pockets. Suitable for all seasons.

Description

This cleverly designed style has no side seams allowing it to fall beautifully around the body. The grain of the fabric falls on the sides allowing the front and back to drape freely. The neckline is shaped to fit close to the side neck and finishes into a slim “V”. The slightly extended shoulder line is very flattering. Wide welted pockets add to the designer look of this dress. This is a versatile dress that can be worn on hot days or pop on a skivvy during the colder months.

Fabric Suggestion & Description

Linen, Crepe, Silk, or even a light Ponte

    (verified owner):

    I made this frock in linen, just love it. Although I did find it ran big, I made it in my usual SA size 18 & it was quite loose on me. I really didn’t fancy removing all the facings to change the fit around the neck & arms so after many hours thinking about it I realised it has a centre front & back seams! So off came the neck facing, took in both seams by the required amount & voila, fitted much better. Once I’d drawn new facings for the neckline it was perfect. I did lengthen it a fair bit & I love the long graceful fall & swing the dress has. I will make this again after I have altered the neck & armscye to fit me better. My fault for not carefully measuring first, I do usually have to alter those areas & take them down a size.

How Do I Know What Size I Am?

Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.

  1. When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
  2. Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
  3. When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
  4. You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:
A. Shoulder Breadth

Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.

B. Upper Arm Girth

This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.

C. Bust

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.

D. Waist

This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.

E. Hip

This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
