Description
Description
Florence is a classic sundress with an exciting extra feature – an open tie-back! Featuring a fitted bodice with princess seams and chunky straps, and a flared panelled skirt, Florence allows you to adjust your fit easily as the tie-back accommodates your bust ease, and an elasticated waist at the skirt back allows for comfortable ease. Big patch pockets on the skirt give you plenty of space to keep your phone or your purse handy and make a fabulous design feature too. The pattern also comes with an alternative skirt, giving you the option of making an autumn winter version in denim or corduroy.
Suggested Fabrics: Designed to be made from cotton and medium weight fabrics that have some structure and body – Ankara or African wax is ideal as it holds the shape of the skirt perfectly, while also being soft enough and cool enough for a lined bodice.
