CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

The construction of the dress features a front and back bodice filled with pin tucks, a three quarter length sleeve with pin tucks surrounding the cuff, inseam pockets, a simple slit and button loop closure at the back and a wide faced hem.

SUGGESTED FABRICS + MATERIALS

The Garden Dress is designed for woven fabrics. If sewing French seams, we recommend using a light weight [2 to 5 oz] fabric. A cotton lawn, voile, poplin, a linen or even a silk taffeta or noil would work well. If sewing plain seams, a medium weight fabric would work [5.5 to 6 oz]. Please keep in mind, if using a mid weight fabric, the ties and button loop may be hard to turn.

TOOLS + NOTIONS

Tools required to sew the Garden Dress include; a sewing machine, fabric scissors, clippers, tailor’s chalk or a heat dissolving pen, a loop turner, pins, a sewing needle and an iron.

Notions include; matching thread, 1 button that is 3/8 inch [10 mm] to 1/2 inch [12 mm] in diameter and double fold bias binding [if you choose not to make your own] that is 1/4 inch [6 mm] in finished width. A 3/16 inch [0.5 cm] width twill tape is optional if you’d like to stabilize the back slit.

PRINTING YOUR PATTERN

Full instructions on how to print your pattern are included in the PDF instruction manual.

beautiful and humbling

I made a blouse version out of an old bed sheet dyed with natural cutch dye and iron sulphate, so it became this warm grey colour, and I used a pretty blue contrasting thread. I really loved making this, even though it took me about 30 total hours of work (humbling for my 10th sewing project)! I did cheat a bit by not tying knots on pin tuck threads, but instead stay stitching with a machine, because that specific step was slowing down my motivation a lot. Can't wait to work on the dress next!! Thank you!

Love this pattern

Although I have not yet made this pattern, I have read through instructions and they are super clear and helpful. I just purchased linen fabric to make the v-neck top with sleeves. It is my current FAVORITE pattern. So stunning! It is somewhat pricier than some patterns but I loved it so much that I bought it anyway. My only recommendation is to make sure you print only your size on this layered pattern. My copy shop printed all layers (despite my specific layer request) and it is impossible to discern the different sizes in the tucked area. I’ll need to print it again at home for my size only.

Thoughtful, Classic, Beautiful!

I love this pattern. I've made it twice now in the Crew Neck Dress (Sleevless) & the Crew Neck Blouse (Sleeveless. The pattern instructional booklet is thorough & the diagrams are easy to understand. I highly recommend this pattern. The pattern explains how to do all the seams as french seams which I love. It makes the garment high end. There are lots of ways you can customise and hack this pattern & I've personally got a lot of wear out of my Garden Dress garments. I feel this is a dress I'll be wearing for many years to come.

Beautiful design

Yet to tackle this project but impressed with the detailed instructions and speedy response to my query. Highly recommend.
