Chichester Wrap Dress

Description

Perfect for office, day or evening the Chichester is destined to be one of your go to patterns for dressmaking. The wrap silhouette is cut to flatter and give good coverage. Finished with soft flutter sleeves for upper arm coverage. Make up in crepe & pair with heels for evening wear or flats / Stan Smiths for a practical yet stylish day dress. It also comes with a choice of two cup-sizes so there is less likely to be a need for a full bust adjustment.

The regular pattern is for those with up to 2 inches (5cm) difference in full bust and upper bust; A larger cup size is provided for those whose full bust is up to 4-4.5 inches (10-11cm) more than their upper bust.

About Our Patterns

Our patterns are printed on high quality paper rather than tissue paper, making them much more re-usable and less likely to tear. Patterns are packaged in a sturdy re-usable string and washer envelope and come with a clearly written and illustrated instruction booklet, along with a QR code that will take you directly to the corresponding YouTube video tutorial.

Our tutorial videos all features chapter marks, allowing you to jump directly to specific construction steps without needing to search through the video manually. They also contain useful hints and tips from the Sussex Seamstress herself. Tutorials are produced with the maker in mind, and are to-the-point and informative.
