Description
Description
The Fabbrica Dress from Merchant & Mills is a wonderfully relaxed design based on their much-loved Factory Dress. With its simple boat neckline, loose-fitting bodice and generously gathered skirt, it's an easy, comfortable style that looks just as lovely dressed up as it does worn casually.
The gently structured bodice features short sleeves and a flattering, uncomplicated shape, while the gathered skirt adds fullness and lovely movement. Choose between practical in-seam pockets or patch pockets to make the design your own. It's the sort of dress you'll want to make more than once, particularly as it works so beautifully in different fabrics.
Make Fabbrica in linen, cotton or chambray for a cool, comfortable summer dress, or choose a fine wool or lightweight corduroy for a lovely winter version. Tencel and linen blends are also excellent choices, giving the gathered skirt a softer, more fluid feel.
Sizes: Available in two pattern size ranges, 6–18 or 18–28.
Fabric Suggestions:
Linen, linen blends, Tencel, cotton, chambray, very fine wool or corduroy.
