Petworth Dress

Description

The Petworth Dress offers a flattering relaxed fit that suits every body shape. On trend and perfect for Spring/Autumn transition wear. Light enough for warmer days, wear with a cardigan for the slightly chillier ones. Relaxed and comfortable it works just as well at the office as it does for an evening out or a country walk.

If the length is not to your style, make a shorter version by shortening the skirt frills or just leave the bottom frill off - you’ll also benefit from needing less fabric - useful for using up some of your stash!

If the narrow binding at the neck looks a little tricky, why not make a much wider strip and tie in a pussy bow?

However you make it, make it your own.

This pattern also comes with a free tutorial video that takes you through all stages of construction. You can view the video before buying the pattern if you’d like to get more detail about construction - just scroll to the bottom of the page.

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.

Format

This is a paper pattern, we aim to ship patterns within 1-2 working days.
