Hove Dress

Description

With statement puff sleeves, a generous fit and long swishy skirt the Hove is bang on trend. No zips or buttonholes, it’s just a pop on and go dress. Easy to wear for any occasion or season.

Make up in a light cotton lawn for summer or linen/wool mix for the cooler months. It looks just as pretty in prints or plains. Use the pocket tutorial on our blog to add pockets if you wish or add a frill to the hem to change the look.

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.
