A loose fitting dress or top with front and back pleats, side in-seam pockets (dress only), breast pocket and a sailor collar. Perfect attire for any boardwalk.

Skill level: intermediate.

This is a paper pattern that includes sizes UK 6–18 or 18-28. All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated.

We would suggest using the following fabrics – medium weight dress weight wovens, cotton sanded twill, 6-9oz denim, linen, corduroy, tencel, tencel/linen.

The more structured the fabric the more sculptural your top/dress will look. If you are using a heavier fabric you may want to use a lighter weight cloth for the under collar and front facings, to reduce bulk.

You will need:
1 x Matching thread
2 x 14 – 15mm Buttons
